(III) Understanding Normalization Method
Since the exam was held in multiple sittings, BSEB has applied the Z-Score Normalization or similar approved council formula to balance the variations in difficulty levels. This means:
- If your shift was tough, your score might increase slightly after normalization.
- If your shift was easy, your score might decrease slightly to ensure parity.
- Negative Impact: While there is no negative marking, wrong attempts can sometimes negatively impact the normalized score trend in complex formulas.
