D upset with first test grade

<p>Yes, I think we agree, except for that one statement: “Note, that four students scoring 64 also does not matter since the vast majority of the class did much worse.” I guess you agree that was a misstatement?</p>

<p>Clearly, the fact that some students did score at near perfection matters a lot. It rules out those (many) tests where 75% might be an A, and completely rules out those where it would be a strong A, or even a shockingly amazing inhuman A. And as we know, there are many college tests where 75% would be super-human performance! We’ve all been there, many times.</p>
