Statistics
Mathematics competitions, such as the CJMC, often have lower scores than students expect because they are much harder. There is no “passing grade” or “A/A+/B” grades. What competitors do is compare themselves to their peers, (i.e. the competition!). So instead of seeing that you got 48/80 as a raw percentage, you should instead consider your percentile, or ranking among the other competitors. Use the information below to give context and perspective to your score, within your grade group.
