oh another thing about exams in new zealand is that they compare everyone's grades in the whole country and it has to make a chart that looks 'right' and if it doesn't then they adjust the points you have to get to pass which can make a bunch of people fail for no reason other than for the graph to be a perfect bell curve
That’s...really bad and dismisses many things that would make a test a good test. I had a lecture about tests and different reference norms last semester and this is like the prime example of how to NOT do it :D
