Did your school ever have a grade "E"

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

i only had it in elementary school...but....why a grade E?

 

[DoW Lowen]

Well I'm from Australia we don't have A, B, C etc.

Our grading system was U, I, S, E
They stand for Unsatisfactory, Improvement needed, Satisfactory and Excellent.

So if you got an E based on our grading system, than it was good news.

 

[Skeleon]

Hm, we didn't have letters but numbers where I went to school, but I think they're equivalent.
We had 1 through 6, with 1 being best and 6 worst (like A to F). E would equal 5.

1: Very good.
2: Good.
3: Alright.
4: Enough to pass, but pretty bad.
5: Not enough to pass.
6: Worst possible.

I think the difference between 5 and 6 was as to how you could balance them out with better grades in other subjects. But don't ask me how exactly, it's been so long ago...

 

[The Austin]

WTF? What did E stand for?

 

[ae86gamer]

I don't know about E but I do know that you can get can an I for Incomplete.

I'm in America by the way. :]

 

[TheZapper]

Yes we do. In fact it was just yesterday that a whole load of my class got E's on their coursework and got yelled at.

 

[DoW Lowen]

You also have a system that uses F, P, C, D and HD.

Fail, Pass, Credit, Distinction and High Distinction.
-50%, 50%+, 65%+, 75%+ and 85%+ respectively.

Anyone who gets a "U" is to be laughed at.

 

[Sassafrass]

I got an E once...but I blame the teacher who didn't give me a mock test before hand.

 

[Nevyrmoore]

Yes.

But that's because I live in England, where the lettered grades usually go A*, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, U, with U meaning you failed.

 

[ace_of_something]

Um? What My school system used 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 with pluses and minuses. Basicaly 1+=A+ 2-=B- and so on.
Ours skips the E and goes straight to F for Failscauce.

 

[Blazing Steel]

My school has an Es:

A*,A,B,C,D,E,F,G,U

I have no idea what E means because it sure doesn't mean excellent.

(I'm English btw)

 

[Yoshemo]

My school has E instead of F. Its irritating

Yeah, we have this. It's a damned effective system, in my opinion.

(I'm English btw)

I think it would be...

A*: Excellent
A: Very Good
B: Good / Above Average
C: Average
D: Below Average
E: Poor
F: Bad
G: Very Bad
U: Good Luck Finding Work

 

[AxelMiller]

In Sweden we have
IG G VG MVG. Nothing advanced really.

Yes but I remember my first semester of University I saw an entire page of "P", I started to get depressed. But it really is an effective system because it works well with a GPA.

3 means you have a pass average, 4 is credit, 5 is distinction and 6 is HD. It averages it out really well so you have clear number to show off how much better you are than everyone else.

Yes.

nah that doesnt sound polite enough for a person that gets a U what it should mean is "U sucked more ass than one of the girls from 2 girls 1 cup" just to hit the point home that they should study more and play less wow

 

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

Yes.

so....what's F stand for.....fignewton....yummy
