Don't stress over it! You passed. You'll nail the final.

Maybe you didn't kill this time, but a B+ is equal to a few dozen mental maimings. Ya done good! :-)

A 78% is actually more of a C+ - great cup size, not so hot for my grade :P

Ah. At my college, 60-69=C, 70-79=B, 80-89=A, and 90-100=A++ (same at my high school). Guess we grade in metric up here, while you guys do it in imperial.

So, after conversion, you still made a B+ in my eyes. :-)

Nah, the way it works here: 60-69=D, 70-79=C, 80-89=B, 90-100=A. Over 100 is not unheard of in high school, but I'm not sure if it ever happens in college or grad school (perhaps this is how some students wind up with a 4.something GPA over a 4.0?)

semmie17, your expertise on this subject is solicited :)

Never heard of exceeding 100% ... that one must be an American thing. Hmmm ... does that grading system mean that D is a passing grade down there? 'cause I'm used to D meaning anything below 60% and a failing grade.
