Most American grades are given in percents and/or letter grades, and the latter are directly calculated from the former. A 96% is very good.

Wise Man Master Member # 1046	written Friday, June 27 2003 14:25 Profile Homepage #11 it's actually quite exceptional here in Ontario (or at least in my school it would be). i've never had a mark higher than 80 for English in my entire life - my highest mark ever was 75 i believe, and that was in grade 9. since then i've had difficulty even reaching the 70s, thanks to having an obviously prejudiced and biased English teacher for two years in a row. :mad: -------------------- Urban wisdom is not actual wisdom.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Friday, June 27 2003 15:01 Profile Homepage #12 It depends on the teacher. In English, I've got a lenient teacher who makes it very easy to reach 90-100%. An average student would get 85-90%. However, the letter grade is calculated so that A is 93-100. B is 85-92. Everything below 60% is an F. On the other hand, my physics teacher gives an A between 80-100%, and 60-80 is a B. The Average % is about 75-80. See the difference? ;) -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware!

Sir David Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Member # 919	written Friday, June 27 2003 19:08 Profile #14 Um, 65% is the lowest passing grade. As for the A's and B's, A-D is 100-65, and then everything below is F. I think the 100-65 is distributed between letters differently even within the U.S., so the percentage, not the letter, is what counts. And 96% is good, the only reasons I'm getting better are that dad is a senior editor, my mom is a librarian, and my teacher liked me. But good job, and congratulations. No I don't know much about colleges, I was wondering about Colgate... anyone know anything about it? Like what are its specialties and all... because my guidance councellor suggested that as a possibility for me, and I'm interested because I have literally no other ideas. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon TEH CONSPIRACY IZ ALL Les forum de la chance.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Friday, June 27 2003 21:40 Profile Homepage #15 I go to an international school in Germany, which uses the American grading system. However, the grade distribution differs between teachers. The Math and Science teachers all give grades according to the average score (so the better the average was, the worse your grade gets), while the Social Studies and Language teachers all give grades according to a consistent table, so the average grade varies between A's B's and C's. The highest passing minimum we have here is 60%, some teachers even have a lower one. :P -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S. T.

Commodore Mango Agent Member # 1169	written Saturday, June 28 2003 03:20 Profile #19 Hmm. At my school, pretty much anything below a C minus is kind of considered failing...they won't make you repeat the subject for a C minus, but if you're in an honors course they'll demote you to a regular course. If you're in middle school and in a regular course and you get a D minus, they'll put you on probation. I'm not sure what happens in high school. Honors courses are graded on a five-point scale rather than a four-point scale, and so you'd think a B would count as a 4.0, right? No, of course not. It's only a 3.75. The GPA demons are conspiring against me. Just a bit of wench-ranting about the American grading system. :mad: -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf.

finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Saturday, June 28 2003 10:26 Profile #23 You should see the systems in Scotland! Not only do they number years from S1-S6 for high school and P1-P7 for primary school (don't ask), but some of the grading I've seen is really bad! In the Standard Grade Exams (which I've just finished) you get a grade from 1-7, 7 being a fail, but the odd thing is you have to take a seperate exam for sets of two grades (i.e. one exam will get you a 1 or a 2, the next will get you a 3 or a 4 and the third (for dunces only) gets you only a 5 or a 6). Thank God they're changing it to a more sensible A-C system, with one exam! Two years ago, however, it was even worse! It was a 1-10 system where 10% of the year would get each grade. Of course everyone hated it, even the teachers, for they spent half the time complaining about it. It may seem sensible just looking at it but it's not. In the easier exams the cutoffs for a grade 10 were like 80%-81%, a blatant "1" or "A" in any other exam! They stillhaven't got rid of it, although it's 1-8 now... -------------------- ~ørangutan I want high-bit characters in my displayed name!!! :( :( :( (Or at least an exclamtion point!) Eat pie!
