Lesson 3 – Scoring Know Your Score!
Scoring Key
Some questions have a three-choice option, while others have two choices.
Why is it better to give a best practice a lower score, if you aren’t sure how to
choose between two scoring options? For instance, on a three-choice best
practice, if you aren’t sure about selecting Some or Almost Everything, why
is it better to select Some?
