For my bachelors I went to this school in India which did grading on a 10 point scale - AA == 10, DD == 4, FF (fail and eligible for re-exam) == 3 and FR (fail and repeat the coursework next semester). Gradesheet was put publically in the hall. I consistently saw that the two happiest people were those either got the AA or DD. When I got AA I was obviously happy! Once I got a DD on a particularly difficult course. I was damn happy I didn't fail!
