That is awesome!

Aaand I have a C (and a half*) average, and that is seen as pretty impressive where I come from, so it freaks me out when I hear about people with straight A's, my last exam 1 person got an A 3 got B, 14, C and the rest got lower grades...

*exactly in the middle of C and B, or slightly closer to B, but I have a damn D I will fix next semester or something.

Yikes, sounds like that was just a tough exam. o.O

Yeah, a lot of my friends are very impressed by my grades. My family's reaction to my grades boiled down to "about damn time". I mostly just consider it a sign that I'm getting better at gaming the system, rather than learning anything.

It wasn't, and for the subject in my old University it has a 50% fail rate, we do a slightly different exam type in my current university so less of us fail..

Those grades are pretty average for how it is graded in Norway. A's are only given out to people who know more than the required reading and can make leaps of judgement beyond what we should be capable of (all of it without having a single mistake, and being well written). B's are probably what is closer to most school systems A's, B's are given to those who know the subject, can make sound judgements based on the fact and again not make any mistakes. C's are the grade that shows that you know what you are doing, can do independent thinking and so on. D's are you know a bit more than the bare minimum and E's are pretty much: You can answer these questions correctly, but you are not great at thinking for yourself or make independent judgements. And F is for Fail. (we also only get one grade each subject, which is from one written exam, and sometimes we might have an oral exam in addition to the written one)

I keep giving lectures about this, sorry about that.

It is awesome that you have straight A's! I couldn't put the time required to get any A's, least of all straight A's! To my family and lecturers (when they realise I don't get A's) big disappointment. I am just lazy, also I am pretty sure I am not capable of getting A's, I could probably get straight B's if I applied myself slightly harder, but 50ish% Bs aren't bad?

Getting A's are not just about working the system, you have to know what you are doing! And you clearly do know what you are doing as you got straight A's, which is awesome!

I'm in America, so a lot of it really is about gaming the system - the A-F (with no E) grading system is very different, here. I'm still at the undergrad level, though, so it might be different at the graduate or post-grad level. But where I'm at and in all my schooling thus far, A-F (skipping E) is just based on what you know - what you can do with what you know is largely irrelevant. In theory, C is about average, with A and B being above and D and F being below average/fail, but in reality most people consider A-B to be 'average' level, while C is 'bare minimum' and D and F are both basically fails.

The kind of grading you describe probably would make you around a B student in America. :)

And I like the lecture! I like learning about other countries, especially how education works in those countries. (I tend to be very interested in the subject of education and how it works and is structured and such, so I like learning about these things).
