The world is full of mysteries, and shares too few of the answers required. An example of which, is how did I end up in the Brute Zone?

This is a Gaussian Bell Curve.
It says that most people will fit into the middle etc etc.
The exam boards average every person onto this through statistical equations, and [u[that[/u] is how your grade boundaries are created. It is devised in a way that provides a middle mark that is fairly created among your peers according to accurate data. So if you got a D, you were below the average test score.
It makes sense when you think about it.
Ah, that does make a bit more sense than what my teacher had explained to me.
Thank you.
The idea is that within each group of people taking the test, an even spread of results applied to the curve previously mentioned will show itself. Also, as a side note, naturally this is statistics, there can be changes from this curve, but the wider the sample, the closer the results should represent this curve.
