What the hell is A*? Nice sucking at science too. I mean, a B in all sciences? Come on, Klarth. I think you can do better.




Posted by Klarth

B = pass, and I needed seven of them bare minimum. I did no homework, little coursework and no revision for anything.

A* = highest possible mark :D




Posted by The Judge

You took a lot of classes.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Yeah, ten, what's with that? Who takes ten courses? Max I've ever seen is eight.


Quoted post: A* = highest possible mark


Figures you'd get them in english. Still weird how you're marked with letters.



Posted by Klarth

They don't tell us our percentages, but everything upwards from 85% is an A*... I think. Anything below 30% is a U (unmarkable).

And ten is the minimum we had to take. >.> Next year I'm only taking five, and after that only four. ftr: next year's classes are English, philosophy, politics, biology and Russian. And I'm going to Moscow in March! :D




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

How long are your classes then? Because mine were 72 minutes, four in each semester, two semesters. Either way, you'd think they would use percentages. I've always preferred knowing exactly what I got, rather than a vague B. Because, hey, a 79% B is better than a 65% B.




Posted by Klarth

Each class is 35 minutes, and this year we had eight a day most days, but since I get free periods in sixth form I'll probably have only four or five maximum per day. It's not like Americanadian schools in that we follow a rigid timetable every day - each day has a different arrangement.

as for grading: lol beuracracy

Holy ****, I want the Canadian grading system.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Not really. We have a tougher curriculum, so it balances out... more or less.




Posted by Zeta

I said just the grading system. Didn't say a word about your cirriculums.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

They go hand-in-hand though. There's no need for our grading system without our curriculum. If you get a 55% in the States, chances are you're still going to fail with the Canadian grading system.
