University Calculus 1989 and 2006

Here is a comparison of two groups of Johns Hopkins Students.

The test is the same a Calculus final from 1989.
The results for the 1989 group are substanially higher than for the 2006 group.

The results are analyzed under the 1989 grading scale and the 2006 grading scale.

Massive grade inflation is apparent. Who could be surprised?
