"Charlie, you got a 75? Not bad at all!" Charlie's cousin exclaimed with joy, spotting his name on the list.

Charlie felt a rush of excitement too. Although the score wasn't stellar, it was quite an achievement for him. Given the test's difficulty, combined with the curve grading and competitive scoring, many had only managed scores in the sixties. Scoring in the seventies was considered above average.

"An 81, pretty decent," his cousin remarked a few seconds later, noticing his own score and clicking his tongue. An 81 was about par for him.

"Ha! I think so too. You're definitely a shoo-in for the National Medical School," another chimed in.
