So some Nairalanders actually believe that one can jump from averaging 1-3 to the 19th position. No wonder this forum is like this.


There's clearly a lot wrong with the final position.

advanceDNA:

how can her position in all subject not be less than 3rd and she now came in 19th


I suspect the teacher is practicing witchcraft.

ivolt:




Check again, each subject had a class average.
Statistically, at least half of the class scored below average and half above.

This pupil was well above average in all subjects. This means the least position
she could have taken is 12th.

So, it is impossible for her to be 19th in a class of 25 unless they use other undocumented
criteria for assigning class position.

Nigerialabalaba:


I look am. tie for grades for subject dey different from class position.

I don teach for school before o so I sabi dis tins wella. If u and another pupil tie for grades, e no change ur position for dat subject but for class position, u go use different approach.

I no say d teacher no fit make mistake but dis position dey possible

sinkhole:
The least the girl got in all her subjects is 94 and they are just 25 in class (I hope I'm correct), how come she is 19th, not even 6th?
Her average score, which is 98, suppose to be used to position her in the class, is it not?

phemmyfour:
It's possible if position 1-18 got higher percentages i.e 99-100%

If you find yourself in class with extremely brilliant pupils at that level (Nursery 2), anything less than 99% might take you out if top 10 position in the class

ExudeLoveToAll:




With the data given above it's not possible.

You can't be having less than 3rd in most subject ranking and then come 19th overall in same class. Where is the computational basis coming from?

You assumption only holds when the participants in class are also ra ked hight than the said student in subject ranking else assumption is flawed.

ExudeLoveToAll:



When I hear that I'm in the arts I don't need mathematics, it pains my heart.

This is elementary mathematics and the teacher failed woefully.

You can't be having less than third position in subject average ranking and not have same range in class average ranking.

E fit possible oga. U no be teacher abeg.

For Class position, if 5 pupil tie for 1st position, d next position na 6th position but if 5 pupils tie for subject scores, the 6th pupil still be 2nd.

U dey look at d numbers but u no understand position system for schools because u no be teacher..Na becos of dis position system make some countries stop class position system.
U no be teacher so no argue wetin u know sabi

I was surprised when My Neighbor show me the result her daughter got from the school yesterday.

How can a girl that normal go to school around 8:30-9am got A for punctually. The funniest part of it is that the teacher give the girl A in all area but still in 19th position out of 25 pupils

RATING GRADE:
50-74 is C but the teacher Wrote A in all

Please what your advice?

Nigerialabalaba:

u no be teacher abeg. That class position is possible. Dat na why people dey mock una wey tink say una sabi because una go school. Dis na wetin I sabi right from primary school o even before I go teach for school.

We4all:


Study the class average carefully then you will know it’s possible.

Nigerialabalaba:

Dat fit mean say d class na top set class. To avoid dis confusion, na becos of dat dem seperate subject position from class position.
You fit collect first and second position for all your subjects but fit still be last for class position o

You nailed it! If you check the class average, you will understand that her position is possible.

Juliearth:





Your neighbour's daughter is in an arrow class. What that means is that everyone in the class is bright and as such, she could rake in 99 percent in a subject and still come in 5th position or more. In an arrow class, average cumulative total could be as high as 95 percent, meaning each pupil/student in that class pulled in that high per subject.

Most of dem tink say if u sabi do maths and write English, u fit teach be dat.
Teacher work pass those basic tins.
D funny tin be say, right from my primary school I sabi say dis kain result is possible.
I dey use am motivate myself for my top class dat time because if u tink say u dey top one subject and go relax, na 10th position u go land straight!

Dis na as far back as 1980-82 o wey I dey primary school. All we boys wey we dey drag class position dat time because of dis position system all dey d top professions today and we all dey do fine. Na d only disadvantage of d position system u see so.
