[quote=Anonymous]I went through engineering school (top 10) in the 90s. And while I think most engineering programs won't have an issue with this, I suspect lots of 1st year core classes having to figure out a more subjective test program in order to truly limit As to 20% of the class. Back in my day, almost everyone in my nearly 500+ Calculus 1 class had already taken AP Calc in high school and came in with a 5 on the test, so like 50%+ of the class routinely got As in most of the tests. There were quite a few who couldn't get there but the majority of the group easily got A in the class. And that was the whole point for most of us to redo calc in college--to get that easy A!
