<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D">Hi everyone, boundary values should be quite tight. I remember a few years ago being told that boundary values should be within 10% ( just an arbitrary value)
of the boundary, so if I was testing 20, values of 18,20 and 22 would be acceptable, but 19,20,21 were preferred.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D">Values of 1,20,1000, whilst technically correct, were not acceptable for SD.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">hi all</p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am enjoying my break from classes unlike some of my students who are actually practising for the exams (not all)</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">While I was outside fencing (no I was not counting cows correctly OR accurately just bloddy rabbits and rabbit holes and ant nests) i was thinking about work things.</p>

</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I deduce that it is testing just outside the boundary and if < then on teh boundary and if <= then one above the boundary?</p>
</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I went looking through the study design last night and the term Boundary value is not explicitly mentioned (as far as I found …. )</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">of course my better students complained that I had not taught them about it</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">that led me to think about test table values - how precisely on teh boundary do they need to be in the exam?</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">when is close enough good enough? etc…</p>
