How to combine written and interview scores
Interviews are usually scored by a panel, and some employers set aside the highest and lowest scores before averaging. This page handles that trim and then folds the interview into one final score alongside the written exam. Enter panelist scores one per line as "panelist, score", or switch to rating mode if you were only told high, middle or low.
The interview figure depends on how the panel is combined. A plain average uses every panelist. A trimmed mean sets aside one highest and one lowest score and averages what remains, dropping only one of each even when several panelists share the same score, and the table shows who was set aside. The written and interview figures are then each divided by their maximum and multiplied by their weight to give a score out of 100.
The two weights must total 100 percent, and the page reports the current total when they do not. Weights, rating points and trimming rules differ by employer, so this page embeds no organisation specific rule. Deciding a hiring cutoff and judging whether each panelist passed you individually are not supported.
Frequently asked questions
The single highest and the single lowest panelist score are set aside and only the remaining scores are averaged. At least 3 panelists are needed so that one score survives the trim.
Only one highest and one lowest score are dropped. When several panelists share that score the rest still count, and the table marks exactly which panelist was set aside.
Switch the interview input to the rating mode, enter the points your announcement gives for high, middle and low, then pick the rating you received. Rating points differ by employer so they are inputs.
