Regrading

• The Percent written on each test is NOT a percent
  of the possible highest score (128).
• Tests rescored as a percentage of the highest
  actual score of 118.
• Thus Ive thrown out 10 points as test error
  and assumed the best actual score is the best
  possible score.
• Another way of thinking about this is that youre
  being compared in relative terms to the student
  who scored the highest grade rather than to a
  (harder) absolute standard. This tells you how
  youre doing in comparison to your classmates.
