How this works

Method

  1. Each board publishes, after every series, the lowest total for each grade on each tier.
  2. Your grade is the highest grade whose boundary your total reaches. A total exactly on a boundary gets that grade.
  3. Grades come from the total, never from averaging paper grades.
