What grade would you consider to be a "failing" grade?

Question

the term "failing" can be subjective or objective, depending on how you look at it . . . so, i'm asking, subjectively, what do you consider a "failing" grade?

80%?
70%?
60%?
<50%?

:(

Answer 1

Below 76%

Answer 2

For me personally, it's anything below 80% - the grading system at my high school is different than most schools, and an 80% is a C. I'm used to receiving mostly A's (high B's in math), so anything that's a C or below is "failing" to me.



For most people I know, "failing" is 75-70% and below.



Oh, in case you were wondering - my school's grading system:

A 100-93%

B 92-85%

C 84-77%

D 76-69%

and, for some reason, I've never seen E's given out... but I'm guessing that 69-67% would be an E, since 65% and below is an F.

Answer 3

60% In all honesty 70 but that is considered average

My kids all had 4.0 during the whole time they were in school

we were very poor and education was paramount. I always was on top of them and tried to help them in any way I could

In this day and age you need to be more than average I don't know how old you are but I hold your parents accountable for failing grades It ids a parents duty to help any kid reach its fullest potential Or Why the h--- Did you have them in the first place As they get older they become more accountable but if no one gave them the help to begin with then how do they expect success! I hope you are at least 70%

Answer 4

Well, some people are just below average in some things. I think it depends on the person really. Like, some people have trouble in math, so I would consider less than 50% in math to be failing (For that person While they are goo in reading I might consider below 70% to be failing. It depends on what the person is capable of.

Answer 5

Im 39 years old and when I was in school anything below a 70 was considered "failing". So thats what I go by.

Answer 6

In our school 85% is the passing average grade. Anything lower than that and you get kicked out. Sucks, really.



But in my standards anything lower than 70% is failing. Of course that depends on the grading system of school.

Answer 7

in my school a 70% and below is an F. And you fail the class with a D.

Answer 8

After I injure Rafa we'll found out! haha jk jk

To me it's below 65 is failing hahaha

but I feel bad anything under 80

Answer 9

Definitely anything under 60% would be failing in my eyes. A D is not failing, but it's not passing either.

Answer 10

I think below 70 is failing, but I believe the report cards say it's 74 or less.

Answer 11

Well for me it's below 70% but I am not happy with 80% or under. For my final average, if I get under 85% I'm going to be very upset!

Answer 12

65

Answer 13

Depends. For me there are two situations.

On a test anything below a 75 in failing to me.

For a final average, anything below an 80.



That's just how I rate myself though.

Answer 14

I consider failing 74 percent and under. When a student only understands 60 percent of material they are just cheating themselves. But in the USA the education system is so messed up they cannot make it 75 percent because that would mean twice as many ppl would fail. Every year more than a million students drop out of highschool. SCARY!!!

Answer 15

When I fall below what I expect. If I give it my all and I know I did...no grade is failing. But if I know I didn't really try or study, I failed.

Answer 16

50 and below is truly failing, but if you're getting 60 or below you're close to failing and should pull up your socks a bit :)

Answer 17

60 below

Answer 18

the grade F

it stands for fail

Answer 19

An F. If you can go to the next class, then you may have a bad grade, but your not failing. I consider failing only if you can't take the next class up.

Answer 20

Any score that would keep someone from moving up in school. So I guess that might be anything below a 60%

Answer 21

If you are a Harvard student, 70 means failed.

Answer 22

Anything below 70% needs serious consideration.

Answer 23

From a college perspective, anything below a C cannot be used as credit when applying for college. Even a C- is unacceptable.

Answer 24

Depends on the person's leaning ability.

In case you are unaware, schools are designed to fail people.

I have two son's with different learning abilities. My one son, who comes home with aD after really trying will get a "good job, and don't worry about" from me.

Answer 25

I would have to say a failing grade, to me, would be a 60% or below...

Answer 26

I consider anything below 75 pretty mediocre which is failing (in general)

Answer 27

For school work anything below 75%





For real life in a non critical job anything below 95% is failing.

For a critical job anything below 99.99% is failing. and even then that .01% will get you in trouble.

Answer 28

An "F". <50%. I'm going by the options you gave. I feel I failed if I don't receive an "A".

Answer 29

For me, anything under 80% is a failure; my program has very high standards. Back in high school, though, less than 50% was a failure.

Answer 30

Anything below a C.



So I would say below a 70.
