Abstract
This paper proposes a method for measuring individual student learning progress rates and incorporating the results into the students' end of semester grades. A learning progress score is obtaining by multiplying the slope of the regression line for the standards scores of the tests by m × (the number of tests) wherein m is any integer. The result is clearly unrelated to the number of tests used and is normally within a well-defined range. Its correlation with the average of the annual total marks for each student is near zero. The author uses a number of examples to show that each student's end of semester grade, which is the total of his or her raw score plus his or her learning progress score, is usually less than 100 points.
