do you think a lot of people fail 4u? (2 Viewers)

[yook]

it seems that a lot of people are really good at 4u maths...
but is there a large proportion of the canditure that fail it?
not aligned, but raw

some fail, but not that much, surely you can get 60/120 with no problems. i think most ppl avg between 70-80 out of 120

According to Jeff Geha's book, from the period 1998 to 1988 the highest average raw mark was 68/120, and the lowest average was around 48/120. So I doubt ppl average around 70-80 each year, the tests haven't changed that much.

thats good for me then i only get like 70's so woo hoo!

 

[wah]

From my knowledge the average is usually between 55-60 out of 120. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I was referring to the raw mark average, so the band descriptors don't really mean much. Although it does indicate that the average mark each year will most likely align to a band E3 (over half of canditure got band E3). Therefore anywhere between 50 and 70 out of 120 will probly be a band E3.

sorry i just assumed he did a typo for the 68->64

 

[yook]

is e3 80+?
e4 is 90+ right?

Yea

thankkkkkkkkkkkkks

seems like e3 is very much attainable..
but a quarter of the canditure doesnt get it

 

[underthebridge]

Actually only about 18% of the canditure got lower than a band E3 back in 2003, and almost a third got a band E4.

According to SAM, a band E3 cut-off is 70 aligned, and E4 is 90.

there was one year were a raw mark in the 50's got you a band E4

there was one year were a raw mark in the 50's got you a band E4

i highly doubt it happens now, my teacher reckons 70-75 should get you a E4

Perhaps 1993 may have had that happening, where the aveage raw mark was 48/120.
