What are the grade marking schemes?

    I'm a returning student but I heard from a classmate that they've changed the marking scheme around to make it easier. I don't know if this is true, but when I was in college the marking scheme was.

    100-80%= A 4.0
    70-80 = B+ 3.5
    60-70 = B 3.0
    55-60 = B- 2.75
    50-50 = C+ 2.5
    40-50 = C 2.0
    35-40 = D 1.5

    Then anything under 35% is an F.

    I heard that the changed it so that 35% is now a C. Is any of this true?

    I'm pretty sure it's still the same way you have it there. We (well, I at least) wasn't informed of a change in marking scheme and it's seems like the kind of thing they would send an email about.

    its the same as the way you have it there.
    If 35 was a C life would be So Easy. that would make a D 25 Ha Ha yeah right. your mate is in for a bad shock if thats what he went into his exam thinking.
