How many of you assign (test) grades based on a "raw" score vs. some
kind of "scaled" score? By "raw" score, I mean the ratio of points
earned to total possible number of points. For example, if there are
60 possible points on a test and a students accumulates only 15
points, the raw score would be 25%, which is clearly a failing
performance (isn't it?). How many of you take these raw scores and
scale them somehow?

produced about 10 lawyers. I'm not proud of that.
