Re: Finals

Hah, in BC it's like this.
86-90%=A
72-85%=B
65-71%=C+
57-64%=C
50-56%=C-
~50%=F

ps. I write my History final in an hour. I got 92% in the class so the final shouldn't be that hard.

Re: Finals

I just did my exams. Receiving my marks by Thursday.

The grading here in Canada is different here. It goes:

90-100 = A+
80-89 = A
70-79 = B
60-69 = C
50-59 = D
40-49 = F > two weeks in summer school
<40 = F > one month in summer school

All of my exams were easy (easiest was CompSci). Guess I'll be in the Honour Roll again.

Re: Finals

Wow, Canada is ****ed up.

All you have to do is scratch your ass and get an 80%. Sup, A.

Re: Finals

Gah I wish we had honors classes. Sadly my school had to fight tooth and nail to get AP credit to count higher than normal classes. That just went into working order last year.

edit- Whoops forgot to mention all finals were taken 2 weeks ago. Starting new semester tomorrow and only class I'm still in is AP US Gov and Pol

Re: Finals

We had a "field test" for the TAKS today. Apparently some teacher told his/her students that this test didn't matter and the faster they were done the faster they could do whatever they wanted, so about a dozen kids got demerits and the teacher is in serious **** now.

When I was told about it I instantly thought it was one of my fellow interns.

Re: Finals

I've got my exact scores for my finals now.

World History: 96%
Biology: 97%
Spanish III: 96%
Algrebra 2 Honors: 99%
English 2: 95%

I only have math as honors because it's the only class I get recommended for since I always do my homework, unlike the rest.

Re: Finals

Chemistry honors - 114% lol.

No real Honors classes would give 14 points extra credit on the final.

Re: Finals

Funny, the grading system here seems very strict compared to the Canadian grading system.

A+ = 98-100
A = 90-97
B = 82-89
C = 75-81
D = 70-74
F = 0-69

58 on Algebra
32 on world history
83 on religion

Re: Finals

32 in world history? How's that even possible? All it is is memorization.

I just dominated my History final.

Also, in Canada schooling is a provincial thing, so grades/classes vary from province to province.

Re: Finals

As Devonin said in CT, although the percentage brackets for each grade are different ranges, the quality of A-work is the same in both Canada and the US. So just because the % ranges are different doesn't mean one schooling is easier than the other. Unless it came to math where your grade is based on how many questions you answer correctly.

True, but due to the fact that the percentage brackets are different, our perspectives are different, and thus, because of my perspective, an 80% is terrible, while for others with different percentage brackets, it would not be so awful.

But maybe I'm just reading what you typed incorrectly, and we're actually on the same page.

Re: Finals

I got a 91.4 on my microeconomics midterm. I'm so ****ing disappointed omfg.

I bombed English. The grammar part was easy and the vocab was OK, but the reading stuff and the essay were tricky. I'll be content with a B. Even a C+ wouldn't be too horrible.

Music theory and Spanish tomorrow. I'm hoping for an A+ and B+ respectively.

"Inability to spell" does not make a person not a genius.

Inability to spell when you're posting about how smart you are makes you look like an idiot. I'm pretty sure this is the point Hooch was trying to make.
