[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 567066, member: 14557"] That of course depends from given work. Our schools don't use A, B etc. system but numbers and we have more than 5 different grades. Still easy to change to percentage. And with our grades too under 50 is a fail. 70 is an average (as in class average, if higher the exam is considered to be too easy and teacher to be too lenient), highest grade is over 95 and usually much less than 5 % of kids get that. With 90 average in all classes you are already in that top 5 % and I have never met anyone who would had a report card with only highest grades, just doesn't happen. 80 in our system means that kid has achieved every goal for the said course and does master everything listed in curriculum for that course. Anything over that shows special interest and mastery on the topic. In older times it was said that 90 was for the teacher and anything above that for God. Nowadays they do give those nineties and above but it is still not something you get easily. I have been in university classes there 50 was also cut off for failed and from about 200 who took the exam two got over ninety, 5 got around 70 and other 5 got low fifties, everyone else failed (yeah, we were allowed to retake the exams and they certainly did it so difficult in purpose to teach new students a lesson.)
