In earlier years, the twelve questions were worth one point each, with absolutely no partial credit given.

"So a good teacher can give you partial credit."

That means families with incomes below about $25,000 would get at most a partial credit.

Usually, partial credit will not be given for completing part of a class.

Lastly, you could be a "hard nose", leave the question as is and give no partial credit whatsoever.

Does one intent deserve partial credit and the other does not?

Either they get 1 point, or they do not, there is no partial credit.

Another 7.1 million children, or 10 percent, would qualify only for a partial credit.

They wanted to do extra credit after the course was over or partial credit instead of taking the exams.

Couples with incomes under $129,000 get a partial credit.
