well... i'm not sure how our grading system here is equivalent to the US... but I'd say I'm an above average student... in grade school and high school I used to be one of the top students... I graduated high school as the 25th from the 250+ graduates... In college my general average is 1.81 (where 1 is the highest, 3 is passing, 5 is failed)... Grin

and in college I'm very active in my extra-curricular activities... I was president of our organization and was a bit active in the coordination with our student council...

Oh my! Here is the point system in high schools in where I live.

A1: 75 and above
A2: 70-74
B3: 65-69
B4: 60-64
C5: 55-59
C6: 50-54
D7: 45-49
E8: 40-44
F9: 39 and below.

I usually get A1 and A2s, and my average around 81. I came in 8th in the whole school, out of 360. 1st in class.

Am I right to say that my country's education system is really tough to cope with? Shocked

I was tied for first in my high school class with a 4.0 grade point average.

In college I was mostly a 3.8 student.

Wow it's interesting to hear that all your marking systems are so different from mine! Those of you who live in the U.S., I have the same marking system as you.

I don't think I've ever done letter grades. We've always been on the grade point system.

It is possible they are easier... I've heard as much.

However, college was NOT easy! Especially when you have a professor who enjoys making tests as hard as possible and not helping you learn the material whatsoever... I'm not bitter or anything Wink

Ha, we have the same experience. I took up Computer Science, and we did computer programming, but we had teachers who don't know how to program. Roll Eyes

They teach by discussing things they read off books. But when they give exams.... Roll Eyes

And I'm not bitter too..... Roll Eyes
