No.
Only for the O.W.L's and N.E.W.T's. Those are the passing grades, the failing grades are Poor, Dreadful and Troll. Usually teachers only mark as pass or fail for the first four years.
O.W.L's results p=poor d=dreadful t= troll
Passing grades: O= outstanding= A E= exceeds expectations= B A= acceptable= C Failing grades: P= Poor= D D= Dreadful= F T= Troll= Z (presumably a zero)
O (outstanding) = A E (exceeds expectations) = B A (acceptable) = C P (poor) = D+ D (dreadful) = D- T (troll) seem to be varying levels of an F.
No. The passing grades are Acceptable (A), Exceeds Expectations (E), and Outstanding (O). However, Hogwarts does not use this grading system. Only the OWL and NEWT exams use this grading system, and although the teachers may mark the homework paper of an OWL or NEWT student using this method, it is generally not used in Hogwarts. Also, although an A is a pass, it is generally not a good enough mark for a student to continue a class the next year.Sorry if this is a bit long, I tend to get carried away!
It's kind of like a D and an F. They're both failing, but one is acknowledged as being slightly better than the other.
In the 5th book he is in 5th year(15 years old) and in the 6th he is in 6th year (16 years old). If you are refering to grades such as you get in a test then here they are Pass: O= Outstanding E=Exceeds Expectations A=Acceptable Fail: P=Poor D= Dreadful T=Troll
In the first four years of study at Hogwarts, final exams are taken at the end of the year. If you pass your exams then you move ahead to the next year. It is very very very rare for anyone to not pass their exams in their first four years.In fifth year students take OWLs (Ordinary Wizarding Levels) How many OWLS you receive affects your career and which classes you take at the NEWT level.Grades and what they are equivalent to in US muggle school:Pass Grades;Outstanding = A = 90%+Exceeds Expectations = B = 80%+Acceptable = C = 70%+Fail Grades;Poor = D = 60%+Dreadful = F = >60%Troll = F = 0%?I don't know what they would be equivalent to in the British school system, I tried to look it up but was confused, how can you only get 50% but still pass?
You need to explain why you have the poor grades in school. You should be very truthful about your poor grades that you received.
lack of grades: poor grades
