Why is this so? (1 Viewer)

These are the marks for 2U and MX1 in 2012 for someone I know

Why does one round up to 99 and the other to 98 if both (according to most people) apparently do the operation (Asses + Exam)/2 = HSC

Why is it worth 2 units?

I suspect it should be worth 1 unit and so 49 with the 99 which is a 49 would round to (49+49)/2 = 49 -> 98

Well even the 98's and 99's aren't exact. It could be 97.5 rounded up or 98.4 rounded down etc. But all scores are reported as whole numbers.

I thought a 99 was a 50?

Ah alright this makes sense, thank you.

As D94 said it's all rounded...
