What is the grading scale in college?
It's on a 100-point scale but the top rank begins at 70%. Kind
of like how 90+ is an A or 4.0 in the American system. Tests are
designed so that you know 70% of the information from the lecture
and assigned or suggested reading. 70% and up is called 'First
Class Honours', sometimes written 1H. 60-69% is called 'Second
Class Honours, Grade 1', 2H1. 50-59% is 'Second Class Honours,
Grade 2', 2H2. 40-49% is 'Third Class Honours', 3H. Below 40% is a
fail. The rough conversion is 70+ is an A, 65-70 is an A-/B+, 60-64
is a B, 55-59 is a B-/C+, 50-54 is a C, 45-49 is a C-/D+, 40-44 is
a D, and below 40 is an F.
