Poll: Your school's grading scale

[RNin2007]

I was wondering if everyone's school was the same as mine. We have to get a 92% or better to get an A (75% = C). They base this on how the NCLEX exams are graded.

How does it work for you?

A = 94 - 100

B = 87 - 93

C = 80 - 86

Anything lower than an 80 got you kicked out of the nursing program.

Our's is >=93% for an A. Med school is fail/pass/honors.

I know anything below a 77 you can't continue

100-94 A

93-85 B

84-77 C

This is the first school I've been to that had a plus and minus system. My ADN program wasn't so generous 93 to 100 was an A. My undergrad at another university was a 10 point scale 90 - 100 equals an A, and I liked that one.

If only my college would have had a grading sytem that was a point lower...such as giving an A for a total score of 93%.....I would have made more As!

One point cost me several A's, and one point cost me a B in one subject. My final total score in Pharmacology was 93%........an "A" at some schools....NOT my school...oh noooooooo...."B at" my school.

I won't know until I attend orientation, but I've "heard" that you have to make a 78 to pass, so I would guess a 78 is a C to them. It sucks that I have to wait until orientation to know all this stuff. I want to know NOW!:chuckle

70 and above is passing.

100-90 = A

89-80 = B

79-70 = C

69 and below you cannot pass

[nursingismydream]

A 96-100

A- 93-95

B+ 89-92

B 86-88

B- 83-85

C+ 80-82 All required lab modules and test must be at 80% or higher to recieve a passing grade. Beyond this it doesn't matter, because if you get anything lower your out.

94-100 =A

87-93 = B

82-86 = C

below 82 is failing and you are kicked out of the program. You must maintain an 82% on all test too, so it is feasible to have a "C" in the class because your class average is 83 or so % but if your test average is below 82, you fail the class regardless of your class average - we lost 3 students this last semester for that exact reason

Also have to maintain 95% on all med tests your 1st year, 100% your 2nd year. We also have no make up tests, if you miss a test, it's a 0 regardless of the reason you missed the test (yes, even a death in the family). Clinical is pass/fail and if you miss more than 1 clinical you fail.
