Amerifat, I know you're used to getting As for not being brain-dead but some countries have standards
>>140357579
What country do you live in where someone with no scores above a 90 would be in the top ten in the grade overall?
>>140357579
All the As are fake in A mercia
Feels bad
There's not enough of a range to truly depict the actual high standards student

You could be 9th with a 0, technically.

>two different sets of kanji

What does it mean?
>>140357892
I think one says Basic Sciences and the other one says Social Sciences.
>>140357737
stupid nigger
at least get Cs and claim they stand for Chicken
>>140357671
While inflated in America, A's should still be the top 10% or so of grades.
If you're giving tests where nobody scores at least 95% correct, you probably fucked up or are teaching literal retards.
>>140357312
How the fuck do the standards drop so fast? There's a whole 100 point drop in just ten students. What the fuck? Is getting the highest possible score supposed to be impossible? I thought students even go to cram school.
>>140357983
The sad part is I'm Asian.

The aggregate score is there for a reason.
Schools mostly rely on them instead of individual high scores. It means that a math wizard that is a dumbass in English can be dragged down by his weakness subjects.
>>140357671
I love hearing tales of the straight A high school student flunking out of college because all of a sudden he actually has to do work.

no Hanekawa?

But we already know what Hanekawa's scores are, anon.

Oh hey, AP Calculus!
But seriously, the teacher was shit, I managed to get a B in college when I had to retake it again.
>>140358553
Hanekawa isn't Koyomi's classmate back then.
>>140357312
Must be an either lowest tier or highest tier school
I live in England and at university level a 68% would constitute as a B+. Personally I've always found it bizarre how 60% is basically a borderline fail in Burgerland.
>>140358651
People don't change. Those who do good will always do good. The good get rewarded and the bad will get punished later in their lives. No use wasting time and money on sub-humans.
>>140358690
England must a hell of a range, what's an A?
>>140357312
>most students do better in English than Japanese
What did they mean by this?
>>140358653
What the fuck? I thought your grade for AP classes don't matter, the only thing that matters is what you get on the AP exam.
>>140358720
70% and up.
>>140357312
>Had 85% (high distinction) average for assignments in business law last semester sans the final exam
>final exam has 50% weighting, and scoring under 45% on it means you fail the unit entirely

>Final grade is68% (credit)
Apparently less than 30% of the class passed apparently
>>140358738
Foreign language studies are always a joke in comparison to your actual main language.
>>140358813
AP exam score matters for getting college credits
The grade is for your GPA
>>140358814
Is going past a 70 really difficult or something? That's a good range.
>>140358690
In college, most colleges only except C- towards your major. Which is 70% depending.
>went to a college where it was a C minial grade towards your major.
>managed to fuck up so many time because you were getting C-s in your major core classes in your first two years.
Still graduated on time, but those first two years really fucked me over, especially freshman yearwhen I had a bout with depression.
>>140358738
Think in japanese as Language
College as a whole is either a joke or ridiculous depending on what classes and professors you have.
>that one SJW teacher who didn't teach her subject at all and only assigned projects about social issues
Fuck you Ms. P
>>140358011
One of my classes this semester has tests which consist of multiple questions worth 70% of the grade which anyone who put in the time to study would be able to answer correctly and then one very difficult question at the very end that tests mastery of the material. You only need to get a 50% in the class to get a C, but a B requires a 70 or higher.
Not surprisingly, the mean grade in the class is a 55.
>>140358738
You don't have to write a light novel for the foreign language exam.
>>140358813
AP was still grade weighted towards your HS grades, breh.
>AP Calc and Physics almost managed to get me kicked off the National Honor Society because the minimum grade in a individual class can't be lower than 75% at the time two semesters in a row.

Whatthefuck.jpg
>>140358923
Holy fucking shit, this.
When your 'English' professor is having you read literal feminist works and explain the plights of women and assigns a report of rape as a tactic of war for a project rather than teaching, fuck, I don't know, PLAYS and their parts, you begin to wonder what you spent 200-odd dollars on.
>>140358817
>dat feel that was Eastern Philosophy where more than 50% of the class straight out flunked out and most kids did the Pass/Fail while I had to get a grade to graduate on time.
Spring Semester in Senior Year fucked with me so bad, even if I finished the whole year with 3.0 GPA.
>>140359051
It's always the English professors/teachers. Why?
>>140359102
English is all about manipulating words and concepts; it's no surprise the type of person that teaches English can skew what the course outline vs material is to suit their views.
>>140358923
>dat one Intro to Anthropology professor who made you buy $150 worth of books but ended up using 1/3 of one book and only talked about genealogy and the NY Giants.
I am a hangeggfag but that shit was ridiculous.
Having actually taught English to foreign students (Taiwanese) and gotten reports back on the average grades across multiple classes and the statistical impact of my involvement, it's actually not that surprising. To have more than three students in a single class consistently perform at an A level is pretty rare, and a number of otherwise talented students will struggle with specific subjects.
And before you say that school was full of idiots because they didn't have a bunch of straight A students, it was the second highest rated school in Taiwan, actively improving (through programs like the one I was involved in) to try to become the best, and the students I taught that I still have contact with today have gone on to national universities and mostly study engineering.

Gotta load that college application, breh.
Admittedly, when I was on it16 years ago, it wasn't as much people on it and I did show up for events and shit.

>Breh
Why do you keep writing this.
>>140359522
Because I can, brehpai.
>>140359592
Absolutely disgusting.
I always just figured Japans grading system used a different method and even a relatively "low" looking number was still good.
>>140357579
It must suck being so obsessed with something you hate you can literally never stop thinking about it.
>>140359102
>It's always the English professors/teachers. Why?
Hard sciences, mathematics and engineering usually requires a logical mindset and are very clear-cut courses. English, on the other hand, can be taught anyway the teacher desires.
>>140359170
>Buying liberal art textbooks
You should always wait to see if the teacher actually extensively uses them. Or better yet, just rip it off from some torrents if it's going to be a one-time use thing.
>>140360544
Well, I went to college before torrenting school books was a thing.
>140360448
This is kinda bullshit because the math and science professors were often researchers in my college and they were the ones that teach like shit and ended up not following the course work too.
>I had a Russian professor for Calculus BC and he made not one lick of sense and I was one of 15 students in a class of 50-75 who bothered to come to class.

None of them had a score greater than 80.

I did that with high school except I did my homework. Couldn't pull off that shit in college though.

High school.
Obviously its piss easy.

>Blogging : the thread
You guys are aware that 30 is a passing grade in Nipland, right?
>>140367180
When a thread like this comes along I'm always surprised in how many people are into humanities.
The general 'personality' of a 4chan post points towards someone in STEM or a similarly inclined major, with contempt towards fake degrees like women's studies or English, yet every time someone comes forward and actually names their field of study, it's always some useless shit that teaches you nothing (real world skills-wise) like English, Literature, Philosophy, and the like.
>>140357312

Just how shit is this place? Most of them must be niggers or something.

Japanese tests are hellishly hard.
Not in the sense that you need to be smart to ace them, but they're completely based around rote memorization and on being able to recall information exactly as it was written on the textbook down to the tiniest comma.
Even their maniacal cram school usage only fills them with more info that's just soaked up as unusable blocks of 'memorized' info that's never really absorbed.
The typical Japanese student will be able to solve a rote problem that uses a standard formula of any complexity in a split-second, but even an elementary problem that deviates from the standard application will leave them stumped and unable to do anything.
"Fortunately" tests are geared around what they knew a student is told to memorize to perfection, so you can have straight 100 students that are actually incredibly shit at applying their knowledge.
