i’ve had teachers who allowed revisions; if you did them your score would become
10 * sqrt(original_score)

my high school bio teacher did “the highest scorer gets a perfect score and the denominator of everyone’s score is adjusted to reflect this,” which is kind of like the thing you just said but less flat (it also means that you can’t pass the test with a 0 no matter how badly your classmates did)

I have not taken a single class with a single curved anything yet
They don’t do curves here. At least not in any of the departments I take classes in

curves are propaganda psyops aimed to reduce the competence of the new generation of workers by giving them undeserved points thus having them wrongly think they’re more capable than they are

i have a big habit of mimicking people. i do it because thats how i adapted to survive school, my natural self wasnt cutting it. i was treated much better after i started doing it. even now i can feel anxious about being myself at times and i revert to the comfort of mimickry. im not sure if this is anything peculiar or is this just another way of wording the concept of being influenced by others. i can pinpoint the exact person i got each and every one of my traits and mannerisms from. im not sure if theres anything unique about me that i didnt borrow from someone else. im also not sure if this doesnt apply to everyone else too

It’s more a hidden mechanic so that the institute can claim that their average score is higher, than it is.
(Some teaching institue gains money from the government according to their student’s score. Some based on how many students they have.)
