Fuhgeddaboudit Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I wish our system was like yours. And how's that system work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 And how's that system work? Scores are 0 to 10.0 (or 0 to 100%), there's no A-B-C-D-F conversion and tests are waaaay more difficult. I had a GPA of 3.5 during my semester in Wisconsin, I have a converted GPA of slightly under 3 here. Our style of testing is just completely different and any score over 8.5 is exceptional, everything over 7.0 is pretty darn good. There's also no curve, whatever the score is, that's it. I preferred the American much more, because it focusses on what you actually know, where are system is more prone to showing what you don't know. Example: we get no advice on test, it's often 5 essay questions, all have to be answered, score is determined based off pre-determined points you have to name and if not? Zero points. Simple, if you miss elements in 3 out of 5 questions, all answers about a page or two long, your score ends up around or under 3.0. Aaaargh.

Fuhgeddaboudit Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I like your system, I had that in high school, much better than GPA system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I like your system, I had that in high school, much better than GPA system I don't agree. I love the GPA system and A-to-F system, because it shows who is best in the group. It shows who is the stand-out student and you can see who the best student is, even if the exam was difficult. If the average of a test here is a 5.9 (5.5 is enough to pass) and you score a 6.9, you are a great student in that group, yet your GPA will be converted to just a 2.9. That seems unfair, because in comparison you had an A and they had a BC. I guess arguments can be made for both, I just hate that a couple of very difficult courses have screwed my GPA when I move to the US. I was often among the 40 or 50% who managed to actually pass the course, but the difficult tests made me look bad in the process without context. That sucks.
