[Nick]

depends on the variation of the exam, for this specific one it was varied

 

[DylanTM]

What's a pass where you are?

 

[Nick]

different percentages earned you different course credit

 

[Nick]

I got a 60%, so i got spanish 101 and 102 credit

 

[Black Wizard]

I dunno about college but high school in America was 60% to pass

 

[Nick]

in college you need a 70% to pass

 

[Nick]

but if you wanna go to grad school 90% + for sure

 

[DylanTM]

Ireland has three levels in most subjects. Foundation (for simpletons), Ordinary/Pass (normal) and Higher/Honours Level (for brains).

My Uni is 50% pass but most classes if you want to major in it, your average of the classes need to be above 70%

 

[DylanTM]

You get 100 points in yer LC Exam for 90+ in an Honours Paper.

 

[Black Wizard]

I usually got around a 70-75% on most things, I didn't put forth a lot of effort in high school

 

[Black Wizard]

and I haven't gone to college

 

[DylanTM]

But like 30-ish points for a 90+ at Ordinary.

I graduated high school with honours and for Uni last year my GPA was about 3.6
