Incorrect! An A just means you got 90% or better accuracy on tests/quizzes. 60% means you earned enough to move on to the next subject.
Therefore, "What's expected of you" is to get a D or better. Otherwise only an A would be a passing grade.
- Spivak 3y agoThis is just semantics. When tests are written to where the expected grade is an A then less than that is coming in under expectation. Also I don't know any school that lets you move to the next course if you got a D. It's enough to say you passed but not continue.
- riskable 3y agoIn America there's a saying, "D means Degree" or "D means Diploma". D is the bare minimum passing grade. You're not going to get into a prestigious school with grades like that but community colleges will still take you.
