A = 100%-90%, B = 89%-80%, C = 79%-70%, D = 69%-60%, F= 59%-0%. In HS we didn't have D's, and even in college if you got a D overall in the class you didn't get credit, but it wasn't considered failing, so you needed 70%+. O_o WTF is the passing grade where this person is from?
Maybe they get an A for effort. If other countries have way lower grading scales it could explain why the US is always ranked low in academic achievement.

Some colleges a little differently than the others in the US. From some of the charts I am seeing, 92% to 89% doesn't even exist on the grading scale, and my old HS still uses the 100-92 is an A, 91 to 84 is a B, 83 to 76 is a C, 75 to 67 is an D, and everything else is an F.
I'm not sure where these numbers came from but I've had a few scoring levels in my school career. Up until college grades went A=94-100, B=85-93, C=75-84, D=65-74, and F=64->. College was easier with the A =90+, B=80-89, C=70-79, D=60-69, and F=59->. Then there was Army training schools, same as the previous one only to actually pass you needed 75 or higher anything less was considered a failure.
