question about your grading scale

At my school, the nursing program was allowed to manipulate the grading scale. I was wondering how common this is, if at all. You know the usual, 90-100 is an A and 80-90 is a B (or something like that) Well here's our grading scale:

91-100 = A

86-90 = B

80-85 = C

And of couse, you have to maintain a "C" average to pass. Their reasoning is that if you can pass the course with an 80 "c", technically a B, then your chances of passing the NCLEX are much greater. I do feel this is the reason that our passing rates are so good. What do you think? Is anyone else's school like this?

At my school anything below a 75 is failing. Our pass rate last year was 96% on the NCLEX and the year before that was 100%

At my school our grading scale is as follows:

96-100 A

94-95 A-

92-93 B+

89-91 B

87-88 B-

85-86 C+

82-84 C

80-81 C-

anything below that and you don't pass.

That makes me feel a little better that other schools are doing the same. It's a good idea and it really seems to prepare us for the NCLEX

My school:

100 - 93.95 = A

93.94 - 85.95 = B

85.94 - 79.95 = C

79.94 or lower and your repeating the class

And only one repeated class in the entire program, after that your out

Yep. Our school is 92-100%-A, 85-91%-B, 80-84%-C. And 80 means 80! Not 79.8%. That's a D. It makes ot tough at times, but you do adjust. I just wish my GPA would reflect the 91% B as more than 3.0, but oh well. Whatcha gonna do?

My school is the same. I want to maintain a 3.0 for grad school later, however in humanities, I got a 2.9. I did all the extra credit, was there for every class but it doesn't matter. I earn every single point and tenth of a point. At least I know I wasn't given anything only earned.

At our school a 94-100 is an A! Most of the other programs at the school go by a 90-100 grading scale. How much does that suck?

Mine is the same. Anything below an 85 is failing. :uhoh21:

We need a C which is a 73% or higher. I believe the School of Nursing uses the University grading scale.
