NOTE: In reporting the averages from the tests we drop
the lowest scores. This is because the lowest
of each type of the 3 tests will be dropped; i.e.
1/3rd (or 33.3%) of all test scores will be dropped.
In comparing your average with the class average
you need to compare with an average which is
representative of the final average. Dropping
the lowest scores before reporting the average
is one way of ESTIMATING the effect of the final
drops. These posted test averages are not used
in any way in computing the final overall class
average. GBA

_________________________________
overall 70.4 ← final average
The details of the final grade scale were primarily
determined by the presence of gaps in the grade distribution.
Here is that final grade scale.
below 40.3 E
40.3 - 46.9 D
47.0 - 64.4 C (above 61.6 is C+)
64.5 - 79.6 B (below 67.7 is B-, above 77.0 is B+)
above 79.7 A (below 81.0 is A-, above 94.6 is A+)
Letter grades were assigned strictly according to this
scale. The lowest D is 40.4; the highest D is 45.4,
the lowest C is 47.0; the highest C is 62.7, the
lowest B is 64.6; the highest B is 78.8, and the
lowest A is 79.8. The smallest gap between levels
is 1.0 points between B to A.
