    Text - Rectangle - songofages I never understood why it's an F if he gets more than half out of 100? Unless it's more than 100. If you get more than half the answers right how is it an F? i-aint-even-bovvered You must not be from America. Here, grading is up.

    Text - wildembers There's an E in other grading scales? well-metaphoricallyspeaking And in some places in America it goes by a 7 point scale, so it'd be A - 100-93 B - 92-85 C - 84-78 D- 77-70 F- 69 and below

    Text - shrekiravevo 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. i-am-a-bigger-fan-than-you If you want to know why the United States has one of the highest student depression/anxiety rates
