Poll: Your school's grading scale

lauritasol · Aug 16, 2005

Ours is

93-100 A

84-92 B

75-83 C

Below 75 - fail

You can fail one class and repeat, but if you fail two you are out of the program.

And how is it that there is a 8 pt difference in Bs and Cs, but only 7 in As. Not fair! I seriously got a 92.3 one time and got a B! Bleh! It's not what regular colleges give, but I guess the grades are raised b/c of the NCLEX?? But it is weird to see so many different variations.

A 94-100

A- 90-93

B+ 87-89

B 83-86

B- 80- 82

C+ 77 - 79

C 74 - 76

For Nursing courses under 75 = fail

A = 94 - 100
B = 87 - 93
C = 80 - 86
Anything lower than an 80 got you kicked out of the nursing program.

This is the exact grading scale my school uses. An a is a 94. There is no rounding off or curving of anything. (93.5 is not an A :rolleyes: ).

Anything lower than a C+ you get kicked out, and if you are doing your pre-req's you have one more chance to take the class over......after that anything you repeat you do it elsewhere cause you are no longer welcomed. :stone

I would have made more A's using the grading system of MOST of the posters so far! :rotfl: And my A&P Instructor didn't give me credit for my .5 in his class. I had a 86.5 in A&P I and he told me there was "no rounding off" on the grading system. :uhoh3: A&P came along and I got close to a 90, so that was an easy B compared to A&P I which for some reason I found to be more difficult than A&P II. :)

I never understood the reluctance to round. Maybe these instructors are afraid they'll do it incorrectly or are lazy???

A= 90-100

B= 83-89

C= 78-82

D= 65-77

F= 0-64

Rounding is done on tenths 77.5 will be rounded to 78; 77.45 will not round to 78.

dosage calculations must be passed with 85

Laboratory evaluation has a rating scale of S+, S, S-, and U. You can only have a certain percentage below S and no U's to pass.

I guess our grading scale isn't quite as bad as others.

At my school anything below a 77 is a D and is failing. No rounding either.

Areinn · Aug 17, 2005

A = 93-100

B = 86-92

C = 80-85

F = below 80

No rounding here either.
