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.
