how the hell does this SNG work? (1 Viewer)

[manavji]

This is very weird to me.. For the units i expected to do well, i got passes...

for the one unit which i was expecting a pass, i got a distinction? :S...

I did stat170 first sem this year.. and my coursework marks were:

Assignments: 13.3/15
GNAT's / WASP's: 6/15
Practical Exam: 9.1/10
Class test: Did not attend due to sickness (so final became 60% instead of 50%)

And in my final exam, i left out 20 marks worth of exam out of 120 marks total (left out two 10 mark questions)

YET, after all this.. my final grade was 75 for stats... yeah i am not complaining, obviously im happy i scraped a distinction... but how does SNG work?.. i dont get it, because for all my other units where i was getting 40/50 or 32/40 for my internal marks.. and my overall marks ended up around 62 or 63? :S...

You're making the mistake of assuming raw marks = SNG. There's a secret scaling process that goes on after the raw marks of all the subjects are attained, so just because you seem to be going better in one doesn't necessarily mean that you will get a higher SNG for that subject.
