60% is an F? @_@ I got 68% in my Biology test and that was an A.

re: Well, I just got my first F.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

...Provided that I don't give a shit when I get a bad grade, anyone who does care can go jump as far as I'm concerned.

re: Well, I just got my first F.

Yeah, the US obviously has different levels of work than we do. 60% was close to average in Highschool. People rarely got over 80% in TEE subjects.

An F in my course is close to 30%. Actually we don't call it an F we call it a U.

re: Well, I just got my first F.

Yes. The grades in Australia correspond to different percentages than in the US. From memory:

A - 75%+
B - 60%+
C - 50%+
F - 49%-

Then there's moderation based on other students, which is probably where the 68% became an A.

Oui. I'm on the CIE GCSE course for Science/Maths and their percentages seem to be quite low actually. 70% is an A in extended Maths, 68% was an A in Biology.

Do you guys have Ds?

re: Well, I just got my first F.

I've never had such a bad grade before tbh. I often get quite low grades in maths and english, but usually all my parents do is tell me that I've tried my best, and help me work towards getting a higher grade.

Perhaps if you asked, your parents might do the same.

Yep. D's are anything from a 69% to a 60%. Anything below that is an F.

So if you got 90-100% you would be like a genius?


Anyhow, one quiz and two vocab quizzes (these are worth less points) later, I now have an 81% or a B-. If I do well on my Term Paper I expect a B to an A-

re: Well, I just got my first F.

We get failure notices sent home when we fail a test now.

A month or two ago, my mom got one. I failed a novels quiz on The Prince and The Pauper. It was a 50.

She started flipping out, even though it wouldn't effect me average.

I laughed, because when I got my report card I found out that my reading grade went up a whole point from the previous marking period, despite my 50.

And on Friday I got my progress report, and my mom looked at my math average so far. It was an 87. She flipped out.
I had to explain that the progress report included only one math grade, and that it doesn't include homework and classwork like the report card does. She said "Then why is it called a progress report?!" Pfft.

re: Well, I just got my first F.

At my school the grading scale goes:
90-100% = A
80-89% = B
70-79% = C
60-69% = D
>60% = F

Well it varies depending on how well others did but I remember once I got something like 40% on a physics test and I was thinking "*bleep*, i got a D..." and then the teacher's like "oh no, 40% is a C" and i'm like... haha sweet. @_@

re: Well, I just got my first F.

^^ Ja. Sometimes an 'A' is when you're in the top 75%, a 'B' is when you're somewhere between 60%-75% of the class, etc.
