Unless it’s more than 100. If you get more than half the answers right how is it an F?You must not be from America. Here, grading is fucked up.Average American Grading Scale:A+- 97-100A - 94-96A- - 90-93B- 80-89C- 70-79D- 60-69F- 59 and underoh wow that is fucked upwhy do they skip E in americaThere’s an E in other grading scales?And in some places in America it goes by a 7 point scale, so it’d beA - 100-93B - 92-85C - 84-78D - 77-70F - 69 and belowNow you understand why American kid’s feel like there’s no point to school. If you have a 100 question text, and get 79 of them correct, that’s a C. That mean’s your Average Intelligence on this particular subject. And it get’s even worse when you have only like… a 10 question quiz. If you get two wrong? that’s a B. 80 fucking %. Now tell me again why American school’s are easier? No wait but whats the grading system in other countries?UK Grading Scale100-70: A69-60: B59-50: C49-40: DBelow 40: FARE YOU FUCKING WITH ME?! THATS INSANE!!!!next time you try to tell americans that we’re stupidi’m gonna remind youthat our “average” is your “A”French system: a grade on 20, 40 on big exams, 10 for short tests. There are no real levels but kids made them: above 15 is great, above 10 is good, above 5 is a bit low and under 5 is bad. We are only judged by our unofficial system we do by ourselves, teachers often announce an average on tests so you know how good you did.And it’s better like this.If you want to know why the United States has one of the highest student depression/anxiety rates in the world, please examine this post. Americans aren’t stupid, our grading scale is much harder. lmao right.the american grading scale is harsher, but the tests are scaled to be easier, and teachers frequently curve grades and offer extra credit to make it up if the students need it. C hasn’t been average in the us for years.Yeah, this post is stupid.First of all, these obviously don’t correspond to your percentile ranking in the class.Second, the raw score you get doesn’t necessarily correspond to the final grade. You may get half the answers wrong on a difficult economics test and get an A, if the test is curved. (Primary and secondary school teachers just tend to be lazy. Sometimes they scale a test by bumping everyone up by the amount necessary to give the high scorer a 100. If you’re like me, that’s a good way to get people to mildly resent you for “throwing the curve”, since it only takes one outlier.)Third, even when they’re not curved, the tests are designed to be easy enough that you have to be an idiot or not try at all to get less than 70% right. And a D essay is incoherent gibberish.As I understand, grading in most other countries is generally much “tougher”, i.e. less inflated and compressed toward the top end of the range. -- source link
