Oh! I was feeling sad for a moment there. I haven't been getting 100// for *everything*. But I have gotten Es. YAY! That makes us equal. Sort of. That sounds vaguely like NCEA, except the grades isn't really worked by percentages, which means that, more than rarely, it's often unfair. You can't really tell the Top-from the plebe-top, if you get what I mean. There's only three pass grades- 'A', 'M' and E, which is the highest. Alot of 'borderlines'. :P
Well, how it works in AP is that a certain percetange of the people who take it will get 5s, then 4s, etc. But that's how the teachers tell us it usually works out... so whatever their cut-off percentage for a five is, it cuts people off around 80% correct on average in ap calc. Which doesn't seem quite fair to me... so only a certain percentage of the population can be good enough at the subject matter? :P

in ap calc, it's an 80% or higher
in ap psych, it's a 70% or higher
dunno the percentages for the others, but it's ridiculous how people don't all get 5s, seriously *kicks people for being stupid*
