Why is grading so complicated? :v In Germany, the standard grading system, is from 1 - 6, while 1 is the best and 6 the worst grade. It's like, get 50% of the answers correct and you'll get a Grade 3 (in German: Note 3). Then there's the grading system you have when aiming for your A-leves (where I am currently), where we go from 15 points to 0 points. And if you've got 50% of the answers correct, you still get a 4 (4 - 6 points).
 * 15, 14, 13 points = Grade 1
 * 12, 11, 10 points = Grade 2
 * 9, 8, 7 points = Grade 3
 * 6, 5, 4 points = Grade 4
 * 3, 2, 1 points = Grade 5
 * 0 points = Grade 6

And the missing American E is the reason why your F is always translated as the grade 5, while your F is the worst you can get. And when you have got a 5 in a subject, you'll still be like "darn man! I'm awesome". The worst grade is the 6. And I hate the translators for being so ... baka!!
