>>11603917this is the most retarded interpretation i'ever seen.
> if you get 90% of questions on a test right, but everyone else got higher than you then you faildo you really believe this? it doesn't matter if everyone did better or worse. all that means is if the highest was, say, 96, you will get 90+4=94.
if someone got 100% you won't be curved. but there is no way you are going to fail simply because someone did better. Also that's just one particular kind of a curve (a flat curve). There are others, for example ax/b + c where everyone's result x is curved. As long as f(a)>f(b) if a > b to prevent leapfrogging.
And most importantly x <= f(x) to guarantee that your curved grade cannot be worse than the raw result.
>if everyone gets 40% and you got 45% you get a first class markyou have no idea what you are talking about
