Hey UK fags, is this for real?
Please dont tell me this is how your grading system works...
-
5 RepliesNo, it isn't. We don't have minus grades because we're not dumd.
-
If we graded on that scale, I'd be valedictorian right now.
-
How about schools stop being retarded and grade by percentage?
-
10 RepliesThe Scottish system is completely different. Instead of A's and B's, you sit either national 4's or national 5's, and must pass every individual outcome.

3 RepliesEdited by Jaaake AU: 12/26/2013 3:29:27 PMAt university here in Australia (at least for my course), grading goes like this: High Distinction - >80% Distinction - 70% Credit - 60% Pass - 50% Fail - ~<48% If you get around 50% (but below) you can still pass if you prove you're capable or something. But yeah. Not particularly difficult.

1 ReplyNever understood why some countries use letters to simplify their grading system. Why not just use the more accurate percentages?
-
1 ReplyOver here, we never used letters. If something was 8/15, that's all it was.

6 RepliesDepends on the exam subject. e.g. For IT, the exam is piss-easy but anything lower than 80% is a D (which in a place where only A*'s, A's and B's are counted in any way "usable", it's terrible). While in Physics, 30% is an E/U (Fail), with 80% being A. (Mostly because the exam questions are quite tricky to understand, let alone answer)

University master race. 55% is a 2:2. Hue. Easiest degree evar. I've already got enough 2:1s and 1sts this year to make me feel like I can get a first overall.

The marking schemes completely depend on numerous factors in the UK. :-)
-
Some guy replying to the original tumblr post said it better than most other people in this thread.
-
If that is... I wanna live in the UK!
-
1 Replydepends on the subject, course, year, topic, questions, examination board, etc, etc.... seriously, this is dumb. there isn't one single grading system to cover absolutely everything over here, and i would really find it hard to believe that that is the case in any country.
-
10 RepliesGod no, I saw that on facebook earlier and facedesk'd. For my A levels it was 90-95% = A* Depending on the subject/exam 85-90% = A 75-85% = B 65-75% = C Anything lower and you failed (Sort of, the grades wouldn't be good enough to get you anywhere respectable)

10 Replies>Thinks this applies to all exams and tests The scores are based on the type of questions, subject and the difficulty of the questions and the subject.

25 Replies70-80 is a B 80-95 is a A and 95+ is a A* the picture you see is bullshit. And we're not fags you fat piece shit.
-
4 RepliesI think the comparison you should really be making is the difficulty level of the content kids are being tested on.

Edited by Helljumper 141: 12/23/2013 6:56:28 PMThats tumblr. Which is Internet Hell, don't trust anything there or socialize with anything or you'll have a bad time.
-
The grade boundaries change every year.
-
It's true. The grading scale in the UK is easy as fuck.

Edited by G7kherc: 12/23/2013 6:33:44 PM60% is a c (just a pass, not special) 70%/75% is a B (Not to amazing but ehhh something) 80%/85% is an A (That's pretty good, something to kinda brag about, pretty hard) 90%/95% is an A* (Now that's hard as -blam!-, that's something to show off and brag about) Oh and the percentage boundaries my vary (that's why I have 2 boundary levels for most of the grades) depending on the exam board, subject, paper, unit. 50% is a D (These are all the grades which mean you have failed an exam) Then it can go to E, F, G, there might be a H Then U is given when you don't take the exam I think. That picture is inaccurate as -blam!-. Oh and if you fail an exam it is a big embarrasement and it makes it hard to get accepted into sixth forms/colleges and may even affect which Uni you go to so ye, it's a piss take.
