I was bored and decided to create a spreadsheet breaking out all of the answer keys that have been posted here. It assigns a "confidence level" to all questions based on how many individuals selected a particular answer. If you input your answers (Just clear mine and put in yours), it will break down how many you have correct or incorrect in each of the applicable categories.
Feel free to improve on it if you want, or if something amazing happens, I will update it as necessary.
I cannot attach it to this post so just go to the following link and download it.
I think the next thing would be trying to figure out which questions are the low/moderate ones. I have absolutely not idea which is which, but I think you could guess which ones they are based on the old threads with the arguments about the "controversial" questions.

So I have 6 wrong that are marked as "high." The other 10 marked wrong are either low or moderate. Then some that I had originally marked as correct that are now showing as low or moderate. What are there, 25 low or moderate total? I don't know how to interpret that. I think I'm giving up and just waiting for the 28th. Careful, this chart might make it on to the next LT's test.
It is based on the 25 or so answer keys posted on this site. The way it determines the confidence level is by looking at the most selected answer and comparing it to the next highest. If the highest is at least double the next highest, it gets a high confidence rating. A moderate rating requires at least a 1.5x over the next highest answer. A low rating is everything lower than 1.5x.
Tomorrow I will see if I can match up some of the questions to the ratings. As for centralizing, I can do that in Excel, but it is overly complicated. It would be easier to just build a database where people can input their scores. I will look into it and if I have time, I will see what I can do.
Nice work; I'm going to make special note of the following to see what was up for the protest. About 18 questions based on your chart break down for possible double answers (bad), and another 8 appear to be all over the place, possible bad questions for a throw out.
Bad questions? 25- a/c/d 37- b/c/d 50- a/b/c 56- a/b/d 58- b/c/d 64 a/b/c/d/ = w t f ? 68- a/c/d 83- a/b/d
Almost as confusing as the nine squad chart I heard about. There is a moderately high chance I got a low score. Can anyone wait for the answer key in 3 weeks.
Just wait until the 28th. All these answer keys and spread sheets will make you insane. My Sgt's test final answer key was 15 off of the rising star/academy key.
Thanks for all the hard work. I am right on the cusp, 67 according to this, many of the low confidence answers I have wrong, so hopoefully I pick up a few.
There only are 75 total "high confidence" which is what makes this answer key all over the place. I hope its accurate, it would give me an 80 (64hc,8mc,8lc) raw score, I would take that in a second with this brutal test.
Who s to even say the high confidence answers are even right. This is the one test where you really can't go by this master key because the questions were that off the wall . This wasn't an open book test like that 2011 sgt test
