Relative grading all the way up to the last school year, then a final test assessing objective performance.

Couldn't the lack of absolute feedback lead to uncertainty and therefore overcompensation? I'm thinking of my school colleagues who were set on entering college courses with very high entrance requirements. Without a clear idea whether they were doing enough, I could see them absolutely burning out.

Objective score would obviously be a conponent, it's not like you wouldn't tell them what they got right/wrong
