An aligned mark of 95 is just as good as 90 for purposes of finding cutoffs. As between the bands it is a linear transformation.
That's right. ;)

But due to problems with the Board rounding off marks, it's better to have more than one point of reference.

But don't you need two marks within the band to do so?

Not to worry anyway... I'm so over geometry :p

We already know that a raw mark of 100% aligns to 100. :) That's the other point of reference.
