Hey Spam remember that French spoken assessment I didn't study for because I was

reading Death Note?

I studied fairly hard in the last night and before the class and managed to scrape an 8/20 where the teacher expected 15.

She's very pleased with my improvement.

[Herzinth]

isn't 8/20 an F?

No, she's actually legitamitely glad that I got the mark. 100% for effort, but I was too nervous to recall a lot of words. I didn't have to do a retake, unlike several of my classmates, a few of which did better than me.

I don't particularly understand either.

...what kind of grading system is this?

[Valcherion]

The Australian one.

Where a 40% is a pass according to some circles.

And I thought the American grading system was retarded, wherein 60% is generally the minimum passing grade.

I once thought that, too, seeing as the minimum passing grade in the Philippines was 80 or so... and getting a 75 meant you're getting 'axed' from a school or course, if you know what I mean.

But... No. I had to come to Australia to see this terrifying reality.

AT, the fact that you're called Antarctic Termite, your user title says you're a Jumping Spider, and your avatar is an anteater all combines to gradually make me more and more uncomfortable.

If you get anything below a 70% average for the entire year, you failed that course here in Texas.

[Herzinth]

50% and above means you're safe up here =D
