So, off the bat I kind of feel that Texas' scoring system is dumb with its % rather than X/80 if you pass. But I actually got a weird set of numbers considering the out of 80 aspect.
I got a 73% (woo hoo barely made it) which means i would have gotten 58.4 question correct if all 80 were in play. obviously some questions were removed or whatever they do in the grading period.
BUT a friend of mine also passed the SAME exam Thermo/fluids. but she got a 72%.... so that could only mean that certain questions were weighed different?
If so that goes against everything we were told while studying as in "the easy questions are worth the same as the hard ones so do the easy ones first".
Maybe I am missing something does anyone have any insight to this odd grading practice? I'm only concerned because the only other explanation is we both got a 72.something% and she was rounded down and I was rounded up, not a problem right? we both passed? However, there is someone in another thread i saw that failed with a 69%... if rounding was taken into place that person has a chance that they got shafted.
