I once experienced this..
Was at a college tech fest and participated in a quiz competition..
Scored 28% and the passing score was to be 40%
I was about to close but the organizer(who was my friend too) stopped me and noted that score..
Turns out, I got a small shield for that...
a lot of teachers and profs use fractions. Grade book programs need the point value of the assignment and the amount scored which is just easier to write that on the paper rather than a percent so after grading all of them you can just straight transfer it over to the grade book.
