all candidates appearing in the afternoon session. Same method for slot 3 as well.
Let Mean = M2 and SD = S2 and G2 = M2 + S2
Step 3 - Calculate the mean and standard deviation (SD) of the raw scores in QA section for all candidates of all three slots.

Step 5 - Now, calculate the mean raw score in QA of top 0.1% candidates appearing in all three slots.
