Path shelf scores
Does anyone have the class statistics? It ticks me off that they don't send this information with the grades. What are we supposed to do with just the score?

They did not give a minimum to pass and to honor? They at least do that with the clinicals shelf exam scores when sent. If one is still on the island, that information was provided by the registrar. She used to give school numbers as well as national averages to see how we did on the shelves.

No. All I got was the percentage and the number of points. I'm sure they have the numbers somewhere, and I'll have to go hunting for them tomorrow. It's just that one would think that, after administering self exams for years, they would figure out that the scale is relative, and as such the score itself is completely meaningless.

no because these shelf exams are just administered to give us the experience of taking them in a particular subject and assess your readiness. its not for an actual grade.....of course the school and national numbers would be nice to know
