When did the algorithm get used in the past? I imagine it being applied to individuals when they had an accident and missed the exams, but did it get applied to entire schools?

It got applied to entire schools if for example the school had to close due to a fire/flood.

My school had it applied to one of my exam subjects for the entire year. I suspect the exam papers were lost/stole/destroyed after we took the exam, but before they were marked. Not sure how, but everyone was assigned 100%, and nobody complained...
