My daughter called in tears after her first college math exam. I think she got in the 70s. I asked her what the mean was. Wasn’t posted yet. Turns out the mean was in the low 40s and her score was an A. Good lesson not to panic when just seeing raw scores. I remember the same being true even back in my day. I recall getting a 47 on a chem exam which ended up being a B+ because the mean was in the 20s.
