I don't care about my grades anymore since it's Summer...
65 or below,you fail in my school.
All my grades are amazing. Maybe I can finally move up to College Prep.![]()
It's a 69 or lower here to fail, no joke
My grade scale at my school is pretty tough, I think. A 93 and above is an A.
Same at my school. They don't give out Ds or Fs. If you get anything under a 70, it is an NC (No Credit)
Mine is that way, too.

With their newest album, “Walking With Strangers” Toronto-Based The Birthday Massacre once again exceed the expectations of their ever-growing and devoted fan base. Co-produced by Rainbow, Falcore, and the legendary Dave "Rave" Ogilvie (who also mixed the album), TBM remain true to the sound that gained them the praise of fans and music critics alike, while further refining and expanding upon their signature sound. Guitarists M. Falcore and Rainbow (who also handle the electronics programming) effortlessly transition between the aggressive breakdowns on “Red Stars” to the dance-rock influenced “Science”. Vocalist Chibi shows more range and maturity with her stunningly beautiful vocals, from the delicate “Remember Me”, the powerful “Goodnight”, to the haunting and atmospheric “Movie”. Rainbow’s synth programming adds an unmistakable atmosphere to the entire album, and standout rhythm hooks make this album instantly addictive. Once again The Birthday Massacre manage to blend gothic, rock and electronic music into a sound that is all their own, and brilliantly original.

Have I ever mentioned how much of a failure I'd be at your schools?
For the past 5 years of my school life, the failure mark has been between 40-50%. It's currently at 40%, and this is university. The mark for an A is 70%. The highest I've seen a pass-mark for an A over here is 80%.
can I live in England just for the grading scale or...
That's really unfair! An F has such a wide range (0-69) why is an A only 93-100? I'd have a perfect 4.0 if I went to your school! haha
LOL your schools are so strict. I get like 40's on my test aaaaallllll the time. I got like 45/140 on my Spanish.
Plus, nation-wide exams have different scoring systems, which are really complicated to explain. Basically, the grade you're given is based on your performance compared with everyone else, despite the actual percentage you got on the paper. So say I got 36% in an exam, but did better than most people, then I wouldn't fail, I would get a B or A. Seriously, it's happened to me quite a few times (specifically at A Level), but I'm not complaining!
