<p>Pleez HELP ME.</p>

82

<p>Please explain to us the manner in which we must assist you. :)</p>

83

<p>A 90% would only be considered an A at you school, choas (right) but at my school it's considered an A+, you do the math.
P.S. pleez define an average of 90 in words( good, bad etc...)</p>

84

<p>A 90 is a B. Feel better now? ^_^</p>

<p>How does one put into words the amount of hard work that itself represented by a number? </p>

<p>Simply put, I don't know. Keep in mind, a 90 is not bad at all. :D</p>

85

<p>A B!! ( are you kidding)
I'am literally having a seizure right now, how was I ever academically satisfied with myself?</p>

86

<p>Nope, and I am sure this is true for many others as well. But the letter does not matter, only the number; hence my view on this topic. :)</p>

87

<p>Um wow. You have some grade inflation problems...whats a 50%? a C? 90+=A 80+=B 70+=C 60+=D -60=failing.</p>

88

<p>I did some research on Wikipedia on grade markings in Canada and this is what I came up with: </p>

<p>In Canada, % averages vary by province, by institutions (for example Queens and UofT), even by different faculties in the same institution (for example, Ryerson).</p>

<p>In Alberta:</p>

<pre><code>* A: 80-100
* B: 65-79
* C: 50-64
* F: 0-49
</code></pre>

<p>In British Columbia:</p>

<pre><code>* A: 86 and above
* B : 73-85
* C+: 67-72
* C: 60-66
* C- : 50-59
* F : 49 and below
</code></pre>

<p>In Newfoundland and Labrador: A+: 95% - 100% A: 90% - 94% A-: 85% - 89% B+: 80% - 84% B: 75% - 79% B-: 70% - 74% C+: 65% - 69% C: 60% - 64% C-: 55% - 59% D: 50% - 54% F: 0% - 49% Grade "F" is the sole failing mark.</p>

<p>In Ontario:</p>

<pre><code>* A (Level 4, above government standards) 80% and above
* B (Level 3, at government standards) 70-79%
* C (Level 2, below, but approaching government standards) 60-69%
* D (Level 1, well below government standards) 50-59%
* R (Remedial standards-used in elementary schools), or F (Failing standards-used in high schools), 49% and below.
</code></pre>

<p>There are also '+' and '-' modifiers. A+ is close to 100% and better than A, A is better than A-, A- is better than B+. So on and so forth. There are no modifiers for R.</p>

<p>P.S: I live in Ontario.</p>

<p>So, I have a pretty good chance of getting into UoFT with a 90% average, as they consider it an A!!!. Hundreth post Yaya.</p>
