yeah the guys up there are right, ppl here are those who actually care about their mark/UAI/whatever. ironically, if you did general, you'd know that standard deviation or whatever is most greatly affected by those in the mid-range, ie. those of the 50000 who couldn't really give a damn. now, you might say that the determination of the band SIX cutoff is different, but i doubt it'd change much. 50000 people do the subject, and i doubt that it matters for most of the state that question 10 this easier was easier than the year before, etc etc
