Exam results are in

My exam results are in; I collected them this morning and then three of my friends and I all opened our letters together:

English - B
Sociology - C
Mathematics - C

In my opinion, I underperformed in English and Sociology because I'd hoped for an A and B in them, respectively; however, I still passed both subjects and for that I am pleased.

The massive shock is Mathematics: after my abysmal performance in that second/final exam, I conceded that I'd failed the subject and was looking at an E or D grade, as well as needing to re-take it - my certainty of this was 100% based on sheer amount of questions I left blank. To obtain a C and pass the subject is a pleasant surprise.

The only result I have left to receive is Employability; I had been informed that the class was supposed to have received them in late July but so far no one has heard anything. I'm sure we'll be sent them in due course. I'm relieved that my "results nerves" are over.

    I don't know about college these days, but they hand out As like Skittles in high school, here. Maybe your system is more realistic.

      I think here it depends on the education provider. I'm not really sure!

    Congratulations!! You worked hard and you did a great job. Maybe math was graded on a curve and everyone had a hard time, hence your higher than anticipated score? Either way, congratulations!

      Thanks, Rebeka! :) Actually, that is possible; I have heard that if everyone is having a harder time than can adjust the grade boundaries accordingly. Then can also adjust it the opposite way, in that if everyone is finding it easy, the boundary is adjusted up.

    Congrats, Andrew! Is an E grade equivalent to an F grade in America?

      Thank you, Jessica! :) I'm not sure what the exact equivalents are: here we have A* ("A star"), A, B, C, D, E, F, G and U (ungraded).
