Oh Marks
So, I got my marks today. I did a lot better than I'd thought. I got honours again, BIG releif. I'm not sure if there are any other schools, especially those not in Canada, that work on this strange system. Under 60 is a fail, 60-80 is a pass and over 80 is honours. We never actually get our numerical marks, we just get a F, P, or H on our transcript. Sometimes it's frustrating and sometimes it's great knowing that a few percentage points don't make a huge difference unless you're on the cusp of the boarders between the marks. I always tell myself that I don't care as long as I pass, but secretly I do and I'm proud of myself for being a straight honours student. Only two more semesters with these stupid exams to go and then clerkship! I'm really looking forward to it although it's a scary thing.

Wow - our school doesn't work like that at all. We have letter grades, and the nice thing is that if you get over 90% in a class it counts as an 100!(However, if you get a 75% it counts as a 60, so I guess that evens things out).
Hi Xavier,
It's only our med school that works on this weird system, undergrads just get regular old grades like everyone else.
I get just plain letter grades. C=MD.
Hahahahaha. You're probably doing better than I did in class though, and good for you.
Congratulations - hard work should pay off! And, believe me, if you think your grading system is weird, you should try mine.
Once again PKK great job!
