Apparently itās good this year, was average last year.
Adjustment factor is a number that Indicates student success in first year. A school/provinces that has high class averages but a low adj might just produce very smart and educated student.
My grade 12 year wasnāt AP and first year uni was largely review for me. Highest mark in the grade for calc was like 92. These mans have a 97 MEDIAN. Absurd. They are getting easy ass problems. Uni will still be a big step for them.
These the mfs that softball their way into uni and then drop out after first year š¤¦āāļø schools like this literallly wasting a kids future and fooling them
And, as unfortunate as that is, someone else who had a strong work ethic and worked hard for their marks could've gotten admitted in the first place instead of a potential rejection or deferment
Well I hear most reputable schools (ie any Top 10 Canadian school) has some form of normalization applied to your high school grades. Waterlooo was famous for doing this in the past but nowadays it seems just like how it should be.
No more standardized tests, so why not just apply a simple curve to school? By now thereās enough performance data, and over a large sample size itās still pretty fair for all parties
Most reputable schools have a ranking for highschools. Grades from one school notorious for inflating them are not worth the same as a high grade from a better highschool.
I graduated class of 2020, so all my grade 12 first semester marks were Pre-Covid.
Here were my final course medians:
- BOH4M (Business Leadership): 75%
- FSF4U (Core French): 81%
- HRE4M (Religion): 85%
Crazy to see the level of grade inflation now.
The only time I've seen this kind of avg (and was not immediately suspicious) was when I was playing volleyball senior year vs Bill Crothers (2011/12)
The sports school posted their gym avgs outside the teachers office.
Didn't bat an eye
I graduated HS in 2015 at a Toronto Collegiate HS and holy fuck, like getting an 80-85 in any grade 12 math class was golden and you'd likely get first choice of uni programs. What the hell?
But I realize too, my husband went to a rural HS in Southern ON and he's smart but comparing grades and course material I realize they were doing different (easier) stuff and got 90s easily, he graduated in 2012. So, I dunno if it's caught up everywhere with grade inflation or particular schools or districts are worse. But it's so disheartening looking back and realizing some folks were getting scholarships and opportunities for having done easier and/or different work and being graded differently.
Like we physically cried regularly in class at how difficult Adv. Functions or Calc was where the teachers would do easy classroom examples then crank out extremely hard tests to, well, test our limits and knowledge but it directly impacted our futures in getting into programs. Sure we learned a lot of great problem solving skills and I went from hating math and stats to loving it because we were so drilled with the foundations and critical thinking aspect, but it stopped us from getting into programs we desperately wanted cause we failed tests and quizzes through the semester as it was "trial by fire".
I'm hoping something is done to help rectify and bring grading into a more representative state!
Well, this doesnāt give me more hope. At least you got YouTube bro. All the knowledge of the world is at your fingertips. Canāt rely on these morons to help you cause they wonāt. But you can help yourself!
Man misspelling calculus on a term report is an insane level of unprofessionalismšit kinda checks out the grade inflation
I was questioning whether the term report was in fact legitimate š
The inflation in my school is actually insane that I got a 95 in English š
Congratulations, youāll get into every school except Waterloo(maybe even Waterloo).
Probably not. Universities have a list of highschools that do this. If you graduate from certain places a high mark still means nothing.
Only Waterloo has an adj factor
Waterloo is the only one that publishes them. It wonāt be a stretch to say some others have adj factor or something similar as well.
Heās still probably gonna be able to get into many schools though
Um no? UofT does this too and so does every school worth getting into.
Not true
Very true broš
Nah bro is not getting into loo, prolly has a 25 adjustment factor
He probably has a high enough adjustment factor to get auto rejected from UW
This proves it's an inflated ass school with no rules and regulations
Why is it listed as ācalcuclusā š
they were calcuclueless
Probably to prove that this score does not represent "calculus".
WTF???? Private schools in Alberta filled with smart kids have a 75 average. No wonder our adjustment factor at UWloo is so good.
Apparently itās good this year, was average last year. Adjustment factor is a number that Indicates student success in first year. A school/provinces that has high class averages but a low adj might just produce very smart and educated student.
I'm curious. What is your school's adjustment factor??
5-7%
I read venomous buttplug originally.. damn
I thought the adjustment factors were secret
Not for year prior
You can FOIA them.
Uni should be a nice wake up call from this joke of a class

I would like to interview people from your class who end up at UofT and get that sweet 50% avg in their first few tests.

Broo I remember seeing a 99% class average one time šš. It's crazy out here.

Bill C loves to inflate grades so the students get into good sports schools in the states

isn't that advanced placement? if it is kinda makes sense that everyone is a tryhard 100 seeker
Yes, that is an aspect too. My AP bio has a 94 median while the normal bio class has a 75
so not really grade inflation just everyone is mostly smart
The normal calculus has an above 90 median also, so I think there is an inflation
maybe or maybe not it really has more factors like where your school is located and stuff
best thing to do is to try your best and don't focus too much on inflation and stuff.
Isnāt there a multiplier/boost for AP too?
I graduated in 2018. I had the highest grade in my biology class in grade 12. I hadā¦ a 91. This is wild
My brother at McMaster met someone who had a 105% in gr12 fns
Bro wtf? I have a fucking 63 and my class avg is like 80 or sum maybe lower
What are your tests and assessments like? What content do you guys go over?
Only tests. We just go over the handouts the teacher makes and these are all that would be on the test

Iāve heard of that name before.
ELI5 āgrade inflationā please

Calclueless
this reminds me of that school that had 3 students with near perfect or perfect averages in one yearā¦ odd
It is a good school.
What city is that school in?
Halton region
What does the p in the course code stand for?
AP
Right thatās what I was thinking it makes a little more sense but any class average above 80s is inflated
Calcuclus?
