# Scoring with Weights and Randomization

Let us take an example where questions are organized into groups with [weights](/speechace-speaking-test/speechace-workspaces-create-manage-and-share-speaking-assessments/creating-assessments/custom-assessments/speaking-and-writing-assessments/assessment-configurations/weights-max-scores-timers.md) and [randomization](/speechace-speaking-test/speechace-workspaces-create-manage-and-share-speaking-assessments/creating-assessments/custom-assessments/speaking-and-writing-assessments/assessment-configurations/question-groups-and-randomization/random-order-of-questions.md). The test creator has created two groups of questions: **Pronunciation** group and **Fluency** group with weights of 70% and 30% respectively.

The score for such an assessment is calculated as a weighted average of the individual question scores, using the following formula:

`Score` = Sum of (`Question score` x `Weight of Question`)/100

Since two questions are randomly selected from the **Pronunciation** group (70% weight), each will carry a weight of 35% (70/2). The one randomly selected question from the **Fluency** group will have weight of 30%.

As an example, if the Speechace scores for the two **Pronunciation** questions are 8.9 and 8.6, and the one **Fluency** question is 8.6 (all out of 9.0), the final assessment score will be 8.7 out of 9.0 as per the calculation below:

$$
\[(8.9*35)+(8.6*35)+(8.6\*30)]/100=8.7
$$
