MPS calculations...

Does anyone know exactly how they calculate MPS? All I remember from orientation is a graph of some sort was involved... Also does anyone know the "real" name of the statistical method, and not the dumbed down "minimum passing score" name... Thanks!

Yea. I remember reading about this in the Ross Student Handbook. It's called the Hofstee method.

It's not very updated ... but you get the gist.
