everything is a competition in the US tbh
i remember in high school how after any test/exam everyone would immediately start comparing scores, which feels great if you did good, and terrible if you did poorly
most grading systems will also tell you the median, mode, high, and low of grades received for an assignment

where i went, the score went from 1-10

passing score was 4
if you got 3, rip bozo
if you got 4, good job
if you got 5 or above, genius

the only thing we cared about is to not get a failing score by the end of the year so we dont have to sit during summer

i’ve heard that european classes were more generous i haven’t heard they’re that different (though i’m also at nerd school so my perceptions might be extra warped)

like in my mind anything below a 80% is bad

thats cause we dont care about being nerds, 4 is generally the score you get if you have a basic understanding of a subject here, to get ahigher score you tend to need a higher grasp

in math for example you get a task and it has a) b) and c)
a is generally just a formula with basic numbers, enough for 4
b is the formula with more advanced stuff thrown in from previous topics for like a 6 or 7
c is nerd stuff

No not really

that would explain why americans think 7 equates to being average

there are allegedly people and/or parents here who think anything less than an A (94%) is bad but i honestly don’t know where they are
