So I have never been a straight A student but obviously enjoy getting 85,90,95 type of grades. Anyone can imagine my amusement when a fellow classmate here told me that they got a 45 and were okay with it because it was a tough assignment. I just thought they were not very bright until I learned the grading system. No one gets in the 80s or 90s here. In fact, a 70 is basically an "A"and a 40 is like a "C". Other nationality-students are also throwing around words and phrases like "I got a first" and "distinction". To me, this is foreign but I guess I will learn. Also, one can get an "E", "FX", or "F".
Super random, I know, but somewhat weird and interesting. I also had to post so Dad can read and understand in case he ever hears I get a 40.
