Stats for the exam: Max=96, Average=68.5 (2-3:50pm average 71.6, 4-5:50pm average 65.1), Standard Deviation=16.5. Approximate grades: 80&up=A, 71&up=B, 58&up=C, 50&up=D. Your semester average will be computed from the curved number score, not the approximate letter grade. These are approximate boundaries and, thus, there is still very little difference between a 79 and an 80 (so don't ask for a questionable regrade for 1 point).

See the test solutions posted on the calendar. All re-grade requests must be submitted within 7 days. Your entire test will be examined and your score may go up or down.
