What would an 80/100 translate to on the 0-4.0 scale at most universities?
The answer depends on how uniform the grading scheme is throughout each university, or each class in any particular university. For a 90,80,70,60 system, 90% is the lowest A; 80% is the lowest B; 70% is the lowest C; and you don't want anything less than 70%. Some teachers or instructors might still use students performance statistics to determine a grading scale. Still some institutions systems might use a standard of 80% as the minimum necessary for C, or 75% for a minimum C, or any agreed & established value for a particular letter-grade. Some other pre-established percentage scale might also be in place at particular institutions.cscott said:What would an 80/100 translate to on the 0-4.0 scale at most universities?

I know that a lot of the math courses at ruters intentionally design the tests such that the average is between 15 and 25%, they do this so that they can separate out the people who are good from the people who are really good. A friend of mine who went to rutgers said that the test had 4 questions on it. Students were expected to be able to do 1 of these questions, however certain students could always do several. In this manner there is no pealty for being very good and working more, however there is also no penalty for not being a genius.
