tough graders!!!!, //f is the new d Options

[kris_fox17]

man i'm so bummed. i'm not the smartest person in the world, so when i heard that starting next school year the grading system is going to change. no longer will a "D" be a passing grade. did your school agree to the same thing?

so next school year all schools in hawaii will be going through the same thing. i'm not to sure about other U.S. schools, but if hawaii is the only state being affected by thing. i'm going to freakin move!!!

[Spirited Away]

At my university, getting a D means you'd have to re-take a class because the credit doesn't count. But then again, that has been going on for a while now.

[o0h*s0o//d0rKaBl...]

In Texas or where I got to school if it's a C or below a 70, you're failing.

[*autumn.*]

in my county, 94-100 is an A. 90-93 is a b+, and so on. thats a fairly difficult grading system, i'd say.

[lovescream]

ahh...
I dont know about my school, but that totally sucks.
My lowest grader was a C.
I'm pretty smart I guess.
But my first C was just this unit in my report card.
My mother started freaking out, and I started freaking out because my mother looked like she was going to go insane.

D's aren't bad, F's are.
F's FAIL.
D is like a warning before you can fail.
Ya know? They should totallyyyy give you a chance. I mean, school is getting touger because of new technology.
I'm in 6th grade and I have to do what 8th graders did 2 years before me.
They discovered a new math prgram.
So we're doing the new math program that 8th graders are studying right now.
I HATE MATH.
C INN MATHH HAHHH!!!

[mirage]

well, all you can do is not to study hard and not fail. who cares about the grading system, do the best you could on any tests. i don't think it's changing in new york, though i have no idea what the grading system is in my school since it's number grades.

[Note]

Psssssssh. I wouldn't know cause i'd be dead if i got a d.

::jerry::

[shortee_]

they stopped giving Ds where I live..the losest mark I go was a....C- >< and the highest was like a 98% so yah...

[Just_Dream]

I thought that's how it is in IB League schools... Where D is like an F. I don't know.

Anyway, personally I don't care. But D's are bad grades anyway, in my opinion. Getting a C is like getting an F to me, also. I know quite a few people who have D's and F's right now :[[

[teeners4]

well in my country. or province.
100-86 = A
85-73= B
72-67= C+
66-59= C
58-53= C -?
and 50 or below is like a F or I i think. i dont think we have Ds. F is fail and I is incomplete. i dont know the difference. and i could be wrong about the C grading part because i never got anything lower than a C +

[whomps]

I think it's the same with ours.. but now they have that no child left behind shizz and that uh.. social something.. D isn't a passing grade.. But to me, a B is failure. But B+'s are okay. I got a C once, and it nearly killed me. I swear.. it was like A+ A A- A C And yeah. Only progress report though but still.

[dani41790]

yea i live in hawaii so yea im being affected with that thing too. but idc. i never get d's n e way

[teenprincess]

That's how it is here. we don't even have a D. We have A, B, C, F

[angel-roh]

hm... C is a passing grade here hehe...D means u failed

[gigiopolis]

in my county, 94-100 is an A. 90-93 is a b+, and so on. thats a fairly difficult grading system, i'd say.

Wow, that's really difficult!

For people in Vancouver it's:
A - 86 - 100
B - something - 85

...That's all I remember...because I never get anything lower than 80's anyways.

All I know is that if you're below 50, it's a fail. So either you bring up your total mark for the other 2 terms or you're doomed to take summer school.

[Sumiaki]

Yea... C is the new "D". It's soo bad to get a C now. Even though it's equal to "average". B is the new average even though it says "above average". A is supposed to be "excellent" but now its the new above average.

Then when you add honors grades to that... it sucks. The traditional grading scale goes up by like 4%. But for a B you get an A credit for GPA and a A you get a 5 based on a 4.0 GPA. For a C... you just get C credit for your GPA. lol.

[noaccounthere]

For our school it goes like this....
F = 0 credit / GPA = 0
D = 5 credits per semester / GPA = 1
But school takes it a extra step further.

F = Retake 1 sem if its a mandatory class (school forces u to take certain class ie: 4 yrs of english; 3yrs of math; 4yrs of religion; 3yrs of social science; 2.5yrs of science w/ labs; 1yr of electives.. by senior year ur basically like way over the amt of credits needed to graduate.)
D = Retake 1 sem if its a mandatory class

1 D/F in 2 grading periods = Probation till End of semester
1 D/F in 1 semester = Probation for next Semester

2+ D/F = Expulsion
Gpa Below 2.5 = Expulsion

No wonder class size dropped from 170 something to 90 something.

[noaccounthere]

Yea... C is the new "D". It's soo bad to get a C now. Even though it's equal to "average". B is the new average even though it says "above average". A is supposed to be "excellent" but now its the new above average.

Then when you add honors grades to that... it sucks. The traditional grading scale goes up by like 4%. But for a B you get an A credit for GPA and a A you get a 5 based on a 4.0 GPA. For a C... you just get C credit for your GPA. lol.

Not true here in california. California Cal state and UC standards go like this

Regulars/CP
Percentile / Our School letter grade Standard GPA
98 - 100 / A+ 4.00
93 - 97 / A 4.00
90 - 92 / A- 3.67
87-89 / B+ 3.33
83-86 / B 3.00
80 - 82 / B- 2.67
77 - 79 / C+ 2.33
73 - 76 / C 2.00
70 - 72 / C- 1.67
69 / D+ 1.00
66 - 68 / D 1.00
65 / D- 1.00
0 - 65 / F 0

Honors Level & A.P. Classes
Percentile / Our School letter grade Standard GPA
98 - 100 / A+ 5.00
93 - 97 / A 5.00
90 - 92 / A- 4.67
87-89 / B+ 4.33
83-86 / B 4.00
80 - 82 / B- 3.67
77 - 79 / C+ 3.33
73 - 76 / C 3.00
70 - 72 / C- 1.67
69 / D+ 1.00
66 - 68 / D 1.00
65 / D- 1.00
0 - 65 / F 0


Notice how after a C the gpa does not get extra 1 pt... so u need atleast a C to get the 1 point....

Now one other thing. You might have honors but it does not mean UC will weight it. Some Private colleges will weight it if its honors but UC u have to check if its considered an Honors course. But all AP are weighted.
ie. I took Alg I honors, English II honors, Geometry Honors, and Bio Honors for 9th and 10th grade. I checked our school's course list on the UC website and all those honors do NOT give extra 1pt to the GPA. Which sucks because in our school when it says honors on it... its no easy class they make it wayyy harder than CP even if ur learning the same thing by soo much homework and mandatory classes outside school time! Gayyyyyy

Oh and to Spiritedfreak Your in the sixth grade! Like yes its good to strive to do your hardest in school because your foundation in elementary will reflect on your success in High School. So Since your doing more advanced math than your used to it will serve you when you head to high school and your advanced than the rest of them because your school took the initiative to advance ur math program. Heres where ull see the diffrence.

It's better to learn it in 6th grade and get a C/D. Because by the time you hit your freshman year, chances are you can choose to do an even advanced math subject or keep to the regular math schedule your class would take and since uve alrdy seen it in elementary it should be nothing but Easy. And keep in mind, grades in 6th-8th grade really mean nothing except how your doing. Unless you plan on going to a strict private school which checks your grades then having a C average will even do just keep that in mind. Its not like college will look back to your prior to HS grades anyway. But then again when High School comes, especially 10th and 11th grade.... Then grades really matter. And chances are if you didnt make a good foundation in elementary then you sure aint gonna make it in hs. Unless ur those few people who dont do well at first or are just average then outta no-where start taking AP/honors and Acing them. I have friends like that!

[jr0h]

i dont know about my school grade pass crap. all i know is if you get a c- or lower, it goes on your permanent record.

[miss barnes]

at my school in tennessee this grading scale is is that like a 74 is a D but thats new to me because all my life a 70 was considered a D....easier to fail now

[*autumn.*]

well in my country. or province.
100-86 = A
85-73= B
72-67= C+
66-59= C
58-53= C -?
and 50 or below is like a F or I i think. i dont think we have Ds. F is fail and I is incomplete. i dont know the difference. and i could be wrong about the C grading part because i never got anything lower than a C +

.......

wow. i want to move where you are right now. canad(i)a, no?

[DaTru KataLYST]

we need a C to pass

[calmresistance]

in my county, 94-100 is an A. 90-93 is a b+, and so on. thats a fairly difficult grading system, i'd say.

I have the same grading system. I don't think it's difficult but it is harder than the other grading systems I see posted.

well in my country. or province.
100-86 = A
85-73= B
72-67= C+
66-59= C
58-53= C -?
and 50 or below is like a F or I i think. i dont think we have Ds. F is fail and I is incomplete. i dont know the difference. and i could be wrong about the C grading part because i never got anything lower than a C +

I like that grading system =).

[*tweeak*]

.......

wow. i want to move where you are right now. canad(i)a, no?

england is something like that too. you can get a 88 and still have a "A star", like an A plus (which i think might actually just be my friends school only, but still)

79-74= C
73-70= D
-69= F

so we have a slim margin for Ds to begin with, but theyre still passing. however, i dont intend to get a D as a final grade anyway, so i dont care

[eli5e]

my grading system has BEEN like that... no such thing as Ds... only a,b,c,f

[miszkristinexox]

well in my country. or province.
100-86 = A
85-73= B
72-67= C+
66-59= C
58-53= C -?
and 50 or below is like a F or I i think. i dont think we have Ds. F is fail and I is incomplete. i dont know the difference. and i could be wrong about the C grading part because i never got anything lower than a C +

dude im moving to where you live!

i dont think were getting that, atleast from what i know of.

[xj_liana_tx]

i hate it because A-'s counts against my gpa...

[Tung]

lol dont worry about it ahhaha. california been like that for 2 years or maybe more now i think? when if you have a D or F you fail that class. o wells =\. i dont really care.. hahaah cuz im asian .

[audory]

my parents are so uptight about grades. a B is like a F to them. fun fun fun.

[demolished]

in the state of California, county of L.A

90-100= A excellent
80-89= B good
88-70= C passing grade ( average )
69-60= D FAILED ( did not pass)
59-below = F FAILED ( did not pass)

yay ! i love my grading systems !
