107?!?!? 0.0

Wtf... -.-

What's the normal figure, anywayz?


Edit: You know what I find annoying??

"The number of students who sat for the 2009 Physics examination 1 was 6868. With a mean score of 68 per cent,
students generally found the paper to be quite accessible. One hundred and seven students achieved the maximum score
of 90. The majority of schools continue to choose Detailed Study 2."

They write 68 in figures, but write 'per cent' in words... then they write out the words for 107... then they use the figure of 90... then they decide that they cannot be bothered typing out two.
Maybe I should've done that in my physics exam.
How bout I give it a go in my financial accounting exam this semester..?

Usually 10-20 students attain a perfect score, but there've been years where no one's scored 100%.

I think it's ridiculous. It really didn't test physics at all, and I know people who discovered upon receiving their statement of marks that they'd scored 90/90 on the exam, despite attaining around 40% on some of our SACs.

I think it has something to do with editing rules. Numbers up to ten should be written in words and any numbers at the start of a sentence should be written in words.

Over the last four years the number of perfect scores for exam 1 have been 12, 4, 0, 20
