<p>college is so hard :(. what % of people get A’s. around 30? or less</p>
<p>Does anyone know if they will still be passing the exam out on Thursday?</p>
<p>I know that at least the top 15% of people get As or A+s in some lower division classes, so if you consistently score 1 SD above the mean you are on par. You can usually get away with being 0.75 SDs above the mean on each exam but higher is obviously better.
Edit: the reason for this is that if you get 0.75 SD above the mean on each exam, that might end up being about 1 SD above the mean for the whole course after tallying up the points.</p>
<p>Then there are lax classes where 40% of the class gets an A or something =P</p>
<p>If you didn’t pick up your exam after lecture today, you can pick it up at GSI office hours tomorrow (Wed.). Please stop by 1 Lewis Hall during the hours of 9-12 or 1-6.</p>
<p>mann i want an A</p>
<p>If I tell Karen I think she’s hot, do you think it’ll matter?</p>
<p>I don’t think so… i think she’s hot.</p>
<p>Never know if you don’t try. Rawr!</p>
<p>haha. i think she’s hot too.</p>
<p>i’ve never seen her before… when does she hold that review session again? haha, i’m curious…</p>
<p>friday… lol = =</p>
<p>hell yea. i got a 50. that’s 30 more points than i gave myself. m/c raped me. and the fact that i got 0s on two synthesis did too. fake whoo. i hate this class</p>
<p>What was the mean and std deviation?</p>
<p>Mean 69, SD 28</p>
<p>^
study baby.</p>
<p>So the range for C- to B+ is 41-97?</p>
<p>That seems about right. So most people probably didn’t do as badly as they thought, with curve.</p>
<p>^
so only 16% of people get A’s? cause 98 is 1 SD away from mean. meaning you scored better than 84% of the students i think.</p>
<p>well i dont think it’s a normal curve, probably has more ppl below the mean, dunno how that would affect how many ppl get As tho</p>
