<p>Our school grading scale is as follows:</p>
<p>A+ 100
A 95-99
A- 93-94
B+ 91-92
B 87-90
B- 85-86
C+ 83-84
C 76-82
C- 74-75
D+ 72-73
D 67-71
D- 65-66
F 64...</p>
<p>This makes it so difficult to get good grades as an A at one school would mean a B for us. Does anyone else have this unfair of a grading scale, or even worse?</p>
<p>At my school each teacher has their own grading scale, they vary from pretty easy to get an A to hard to stay in the B range...</p>
<p>If that scale is universally used in your school, then it will be mentioned in the little pamphlet schools send to colleges which their students are applying to. So if your have a B+ that is equivalent to some other student's A, your colleges will know.</p>
<p>not necessarily, if that scale is universally applied in the school and the OP is still outside the 10%tile, then that just shows that its easier to get a 95 at that school than at other schools.</p>
<p>Wow, you have the exact same scale as the one my school has...except less than 75 is failing.No it is not unfair because colleges always will look at your numerical grade, not necessarily your letter grade. Actually I think this scale encourages me to make higher grades in school because I'm trying to achieve a higher goal. I think all schools should implement a more difficult grading scale because it literally forces a student to work harder in school and therefore the students become more prepared for college.</p>
<p>I thought we had it bad...</p>
<p>94-100 A
90-93 B+
84-89 B
80-83 C+
74-79 C
70-73 D+
64-69 D
<63 F</p>
<p>Just because you don't like it doesn't make it unfair. Mine is worse.</p>
<p>I don't know about that but my AP Econ teacher is horrible.</p>
<p>She doesn't curve the tests, makes the tests way too long so no one has time to finish the tests, and makes the essay questions too long.</p>
<p>My fricken Anatomy teacher curves the tests for god's sake.</p>
<p>we have a 92 for an A but ailing for us is a 69 so many kids go to summer school. my friends school used to be a 95 for an A but that was recently changed</p>
<p>My grading school is like that at the top portion, except there is no A+. The hard part about it is that the same grading scale is used for Physics and Calculus as Choir and Life Planning, with no weighting. My grading scale has maybe 1% more leeway as you move further down through the C's and D's.</p>
<p>I hate how my 94 is an A- in Physics, when that's the only one on my transcript. I have a few more grades that might change that. Oh well, I suppose a 4.0 isn't everything, but my school is small so it probably means more that I be ranked #1 than it would elsewhere.</p>
<p>My school has such an easy grading scale: </p>
<p>90-100 A
80-89 B
70-79 C
60-69 D
<59 F </p>
<p>No plus or minuses!</p>
<p>OP, we have the same grading scale, and yes, it sucks.</p>
<p>mine is really bad
100 - A
90-99 - B
85-89 - C
80-84 - D
< 80 - F</p>
<p>i dont think that there was ever a single kid that got straight As. Its an honor to get all Bs. Thats why my gpa sux.</p>
<p>Jeez, that's a REALLY strict grading scale! :P</p>
<p>93-100=A
85-92=B
78-84=C
70-77=D
69 and below=F
And at my school, anything less than a 78 gets you a PEP (Personalized education plan) that goes on your permanent record.
for some reason though... to get the highest GPA possible in a class you must have a 96+</p>
<p>Hm...No plus or minuses at my school. All I know is 92 and up is an A and 64 and below is an F...</p>
<p>97-100 = A+
94-96 = A
90-93 = A-
87-89 = B+
84-86 = B
80-83 = B-
etc, etc. Below 65 is failing.</p>
<p>We don't even have a uniform grading scale.</p>
<p>My school didn't until 2 years ago when it started the online grading deal. Before that, every teacher had their own quirky grading scale and it was really confusing.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that colleges compare your grades to those of others WITHIN your school .. so if nobody at your school has straight A's (like in sushant's case), nobody is at a disadvantage.</p>
<p>It's all relative.</p>
<p>My system:
93-100 A
90-92.99 A-
87-89.99 B+
83-86.99 B
80-82.99 B-
77-79.99 C+</p>
<p>etcetcetc...</p>
<p>59.99 and below is failing</p>
