In Ireland 26-39 is an E and anything under is an F , either way you fail.

Anything above U is a pass but C and above is a good pass

It's because you can't cheat. I forgot how you would cheat, but I think it has something to do with adding an extra line to F. In Denmark, the system is with numbers, and the third lowest is 02. The highest is 12, and they put the 0 before 2, because if you don't, people would just change it to the highest score.

I live in America (Virginia), and we use E's instead of F's. I've always wondered why.

The "F" was originally an "E" but someone fucked up and wrote it wrong.

My school district has A, B, C, D, and E. We're weird like that.

Now, if I'm ever on Jeopardy and they ask me what the grading scale of every country on the planet is, all I have to do is remember all the comments on this post!

I'm surprised that no one mentioned exceeds expectations.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

because they only use that shit in like, grade 4 and under you would have to be a dumbass to think that you got an E and you actually exeeded expectations when you didnt hand in any homework
