Ok Ive had a couple of arguments about this with ppl, so I thought i might ask you guys,

Person x gets 17/20 in an assessment , 4 other ppl get that, and with each subsequent mark up, a bunch of ppl get it, ie, 5 ppl get 18, 3 get 19 and 2 get 20.

is person x ranked 4th? or will they be ranked much lower because so many got higher marks than them.

nb. I go to a selective school where marks are very close in most subjects with most ranks differentiated by a mark, so how my ranking is determined is confusing me... i know for a fact it wont be good considering the close proximity of marks.

In my school the x people would get equal 10 (or thereabouts, maybe I miscounted) but yeah, it's because even though the other 9 above them are equal marks at different levels, there still remains 9 people above them.

Not that you need an example but if two people were equal first (say 19/20) and a third person was second in marks (say 17/20) the third would be 3rd in rank.
