What percentage of your class fails each exam?

[deleted966837]

The averages in my class are usually mid 70s, frequently with ~20% failing, which leaves many people either failing or on the edge of failure, given that <70 is considered failing.

Our classes usually average in the low 80's. Sometimes in the 70's. This usually happens when big exams are scheduled in close proximity. Anywhere from 5 to 10% on any given exam fail.

Not sure of the exact percentage at UNE but it's fairly sizeable; they have to do pretty generous "massaging" of the grades otherwise literally half the class would fail out.

depended heavily on the exam. We had some were the average was a 65%, so over half the class failed. Typically a high 70 average, so Id say at least 15-30% fail each exam.

Scores are curved though, there was one block where I failed every exam but with the curve had an 80

That's pretty alarming that more than half the class would fail, are they accepting applicants that are not capable of handling medical school..YIKES!

It's not that, the tests are just garbage. This is something the typically-defensive administration will openly state.

Failure is < 70 AND > 2 standard deviations outside the mean. Exam average is usually low 80s.

How many schools release this information? My school can see a box and whisker plot so i can only tell if one person fails (because they have the minimum score).

The students in my class conduct an internal poll after each exam
