I thought that's how it was done in America, but evidently not.
-
In the US, its done on a standard scale, with questions representing a percentage of the test score.
-
Oh. Here, it's questions worth however many marks.
-
Im assuming marks are percentage points, still doesnt nagate the fact your scale if fuqed. Its got too many points representing an A.
-
Eh. I've done tests where it was the 50-60% range for an A*, others where it was 80-90 range. It's based on difficulty of the test.
-
I wish I had that in the US. Here when everyone gets 20-50%, it's just straight F's for everyone, unless the teacher curves it.

Edited by Capiton Render: 12/23/2013 9:15:42 PMLOL wat? So an AP math student in the US, i higher tier course, gets a C(70%) and is considered dumb next to a brit who got an A*(50-60%), that seems rather retarded.
-
For an A* to be 50%, it has to be a really difficult test, though.
-
AP tests tend to be difficult as -blam!-, unless you're a savant. Ap classes at my private school had a 40% retention rate B was required to stay in the course.

Hmm. I think I may have exaggerated on 50% but it is a Lower boundary.
