I just calculated how many percent of all students get a specific studyscore and in which top% a specific study score puts you - can't guarentee that this is true, particularly for subjects with a low amount of students

Have fun

How was this calculated? (they're meant to be normal, mean=30, sd=7)

I don't think this is correct, exactly 50% should be above and below 30.

How do more people get 50 than do 49? I've never understood that.

Mean of 30 sd of 7
X~(30,7)
Getting a 30 in example means, Pr(29.5<X<30.5)

To any year 12s reading this, don't worry about all these numbers, just do your best.

Still a good indicator of where you need to be to get the marks you're aiming for though!

Did you calculate each percentage individually or did you write up a program/spreadsheet to calculate this?
