Preliminary mark final (C) diff mod 2
While the sudden drop in the results of the top cohort has been avoided, it can be
observed that the results of individual students are decreased by up to 3 marks
from the “fake preliminary” to the final results. The average student loses about 1.5
marks, between preliminary and final mark, based on evidence from the previous
years. In order to avoid negatively affecting this year's students, compared with
those of earlier years, it is reasonable to set a ceiling on the number of reduced
marks at 1.5 marks, in line with the “average” student of the past years.
This means that the formula to be used needs to be adjusted again. Using the lenient
version of the moderation above and applying the 1.5-mark ceiling to the reduction of
any individual mark results in the following formulae:
(), − () < 1.5
() = {
