Exclusive R-Score Data, 2015-2017

In our first semester of CEGEP, we often wondered as students how grades might correlate to R-Score values, and indeed first-years can often be spotted obsessively using rscorecalculator.com. Knowing only their approximate grade and lacking information for the class average, standard deviation and high school average, they confidently make up dubious values for those three numbers. At RScology, we performed a statistical analysis on numerous R-Score data points obtained during our own studies to extract those values, thus generating the very first publicly available R-Score dataset available online.

This information is given purely to satisfy your curiosity, and will not necessarily be similar to the values that will apply to future years. Additionally, we suggest that you spend time achieving the best grades possible in each subject rather than worrying about the R-Score calculation, which is out of your control. For this reason, even though we are able to compute these values to a high degree of precision, we are reporting them to 3 significant figures since any more precision would not be useful.

Please note that the class average values reported below are the ones given by Omnivox, which include all students who have taken the class. However, the class average used to calculate the R-Score excludes students with grades below 50%. Our high school average values are based on the Omnivox averages we have, and not the higher filtered averages, and will thus not be completely accurate for classes with high fail rates. This does not affect the accuracy for a given grade (which is near 100%), given that the two factors balance out.
