best version yet.
A - Great
B - Good (depending on how hard the class is)
C - this prof sucks
D - this prof sucks
F - this prof sucks
If you want an A you've got to pay
If you want a B it's only a small fee
If you want a C just be stingey
If you want a D from the exam room flee
If you want an E at the marker also scream
If you want an F snort some meth
And if you want a U you know what you must do...
There is no signature here. Move along.
I don't believe grades are a true way of measuring skill. But I guess that's just the way it is. I tried so hard at GCSE, and whilst I'm not some super-giddy prep who gets top grades, I think I did okay...
English Language: A
English Literature: B
Media Studies: B
Maths: C
G.N.V.Q. (college) ICT: 4 x C-grade
And this is where it went wrong...
Double-award Science: 2 x D-grade
History: D
RE: E...
I think I did really well when I consider the state of depression I was in at that time (well, it's probably worsened now but meh). I could barely even revise. However, at college things haven't been going so well. I got an E for my first modular Computing exam... but I'm resitting it. I don't mean to stereotype, but those who do get the top grades are usually well looked after by their parents, they're very often preppy, and their families often have a good income (I'm referring to most cases - not necessarily your case). It's been very hard for me and it's going to be a very steep battle if I want to academically succeed, so here's what I think of the grades...
A: Am I dreaming?
B: Wow, I did great.
C: Good, I guess...
D: Kinda average. I see it as a fail.
E: I'm not amused.
F:
A-Whoo!!! ^^
B- Yay!
C- That's ok
D- Meh...
F- Who cares...:rolleyes2
I did. And in primary school I rarely got anything below Good. Credit goes to my asian parents. xD
After I got into a selective high school, I was very much in the middle of everyone. Because everyone was academically elite, I didn't have the advantage I had over everyone else like I did in primary school (except in History). We used a percentage system and I generally hovered about the 70-80 range. But thanks to the screwed up education system we have here, my school's performance relative to the rest of the state scaled my final UAI up to 91.35 allowing me to coast into uni without too much of a hassle (though I did study quite a bit, my marks in the end didn't reflect the effort I had put in
I've just started uni and I am totally not failing. xD
We don't use A,B,C,D until our GCSE's. My exams/assesments are assessed into Levels which are more or less the same as A,B,C and D ^_^
level 8 - O_O They must have marked it wrong.
Level 7 - Amazingly good. Amazing! Highest grade Ive ever got.
Level 6 - Okay so Im average
Level 5 - >_>
Level 4 - Aw crap.
But they change every year. Next year Level 8 will be the average, 7 the under average and 9 would be wowzer.

A=yay, great!
B=Phew, that's alright then
C=Darn, my parents are gonna be mad, at least I passed
D=...
S = Who's test is this? it's not mine.
M = Flirting with the teacher.
G = I always get these.
N = Failed flirting with teacher.
L = Maths.
This is how my parents see things:
A: Great.
B: Mildly terrible.
C: Terrible.
D: Terrible.
F: Terrible.
My dear you've been used, I'm breaking the news.
this is how i see grades
A - gj pwnd that class
B - not bad dude
C - hmm maybe i should study?...nope
D - k page 1...
F - omfg who needs to know spanish anyway (no offense to anyone who does speak spanish)
the only class i have ever gotten an F on my report card for was Spanish 1 my freshman year in highschool. I had absolutely no ambition to learn spanish but i had been forced to take it. Also the only class i've ever flunked. i usually get A's and B's with like 2 C's my entire life.
Course my parents see the scale like this
A - gj keep it up
B - should be an A
C - start studying now or else
D - im not kidding u better study
F - i hope u can spell disown(cept they didnt care bout spanish cause my dad flunked french in high school)

Doc "But I'm a pacifist, I don't believe in violence"
Caboose "Your a thing babies suck on?"
Tucker "No thats a pedophile"
100% pass
99% fail
-- not my standard, but I have a humourous stereotype that involves this (that I don't take seriously of course).
Anyway I tend to view 'A' as knowledgeable but either you messed up some questions or you were tested on something you just didn't study/learn properly.
A+ means you know your stuff. In my experience this is when I know the course material already. I never study everything in a course otherwise.
B+ and lower are varying degrees of not knowing course material.
D or lower means you just didn't care. F and lower means you really didn't care.
A - Awesomesauce
B- Pretty good!
C - Ehhh
D - Crap
F - Failure
I usually get As and A+s, but Bs are fine with me.People who FREAK over Bs need to chill out. Especially people who whine about getting Bs (and even As instead of A+'s, which is incredibly sad) to everyone around them.
I'm going to tell you quite bluntly that everyone HATES to hear someone cry over Bs, when Bs are quite good. If you have to freak over about Bs, do it at home, so you don't bug anyone/hurt anyones feelings who may work hard for just a B. Some people are proud for just getting a B, and to take away from their happiness because you get your panties in a wad over an 85 on a test is mean.
