Have you ever barely passed a(n) paper, class, or objective?
Me: I just barely passed an english paper in one of my two english classes (11A and 12A), I passed the 12A paper with a 68. I'm in 11th grade, :P. I'm soooo sad.

I was always told that no grade is technically a Fail as it is still a grade... don't really believe that to be true, I think they were just trying to boost confidence.
----

In my GCSE's I got B's & C's. Lowest was a D in maths which I later resat to scrape a C

Went on to AS level and got two U grades haha. Basically I went to sleep in the tests, only thing I wrote was my name. I had wasted the year and regarless how well I had done I would of still failed due to no corsework.

My lowest grade is an 86% in social studies because I forgot to do a 25-point assignment. If I had remembered, I would have straight As D:

But I shall recover.

We get votes in numbers 0 to 10 here (6 being the minimum to pass).
I ended a year with the average of 6.2.
Almost failed... got some 4 and 5....

Spanish is literally the easiest language in the world to learn. If you compare it to English, it's actually very simple. Be lucky you speak English, because it's said to be one of the hardest to learn in the world!

Btw a 68 is a C not a D.

Marking:
80+ = A
70+ = B
60+ = C
50+ = D

Anything lower is a fail

My worst mark was a 1-/51 percent/D- and it's a pass so says the teachers. That mark was in geography because she didn't give the class enough time to finish the project, no one got higher than 65%. She said we'd of gotten a week to finish it but everyone was to loud so it's suddenly due at the end of class...

Alright, alright, lemme clear things up for you. School systems outside of counties, districts, state-wise and internationally, have different grading codes. Anything that has a lower number to pass is a more-lenient code, whereas anything that bumps up the passing grade is more strict. The most common is 59-0 is failing, because if you only got half of all assignments and tests credible, you should be failing. It makes sense to me. Colleges generally bump up their expectations to remove incompetence in the classrooms and to provide as much as they can so the students will be useful in their future professional job.

My standard classes go by the 59-0 grading scale, and my advanced classes have a 69-0 scale. Even by then, the teachers would recommend either bumping you down or removing you from advanced classes if you are barely passing it.
