FOI_25-131 Grade distributions
Date of response: 10 June 2025
We have now considered your request of 14 May 2025 for the following information:
…we need to receive a grade distribution, that is, the total % of students that achieve each of the marks in the grading scale, identifying the minimum passing mark.
Information can be sent in a table. As an example we will provide a possible format, that your University will need to adapt to the range of marks used in their scale:
Mark _____% of students
0 0%
1 1%
2 4%
... ...
10* 15%
11 25%
12 9%
... ...
... ...
17 8%
... ...
20 2%
*Minimum passing mark"
Clarification received 30 April 2025:
….Bachelor of Arts in History and History of Art in 2022.
Further clarification received 14 May 2025:
Regarding the first question, the distribution of marks in blocks of 10% is perfectly acceptable as far as I know.
With regards to the second question, if the distribution is different depending on the year then I would like to have the split, though I would prefer to have both the split and the final marks just in case. If the distribution is the same, I think either one will suffice.
