actually, it does make a difference for anyone who sat on the borderline of 2-3, 3-4, 4-5. Previously, if 15% received 1’s, then 85% had 2-5. But now, if 34% have 1’s, then 66% of the grades were re-distributed beween 2-5. Anyone on the cutoffs points were moved DOWN . Only 15% had 4s (usually 20%) and 16% had 3s (usually 21%). How’d you like to study hard and get a 4 b/c you just barely missed the usual cutoff for a score of 5?
