Is this grading scale common?

I always heard that Virginia schools were very hard on their students. I didn’t think so, but of course i never compared my school system to other ones. Here is the grading scale for Halifax County, Virginia.

94-100 A

86-93 B

78-85 C

70-77 D

69 or below F

Is this grading scale tougher than most? If so, what is the grading scale that you are used to?

It seems that you’re on a 6-8 point scale. My cousin uses a 7 point scale, but she has A+ & A- in between, but I think it’s harsh to say 93 is a B. My scale goes like this…

97-100: A+

92-96: A

90-91: A-

87-89: B+

82-86: B

80-81: B-

77-79: C+

72-76: C

70-71: C-

69: D+

67-68: D

66: D-

0-65: U (which is an F, basically)

Depending on the teacher and difficulty of the course,

San Diego’s most common scale is ususally in this area:

90 – 100 A

80 – 90 B

70 – 80 C

60 – 70 D

– 60 F

It isn’t too much off of the standard scale. Usually 65 is the cut off and 90-100 is an A, but it depends on how the teacher assigns value to the work.

Many schools are using such a standard, but I was used to:

100-90 A

89-80 B

79-70 C

69-60 D

59-0 F

I think that is a bit tough!

In my high school 50 was a C.

In college 50 was around a D/E.

If you think about it, getting a mark of 50, when out of 100, you got half of the questions right, so saying 69 or below is an F (or a fail) is a little harsh.

In my public schools it was

A- 93-100

B- 85-92

C- 77-84

D- 70-76

F- 69 and below.

When I moved to privates school it was

A- 90-100

B- 80-89

C- 70-79

D- 65- 69

F- below 65

This is the scale most colleges use.

Yea, it seems like in the past 10 years or so a lot of schools have been using your grading system.
