Today is a day for celebrating

as the above title mentions, I am in a very celebratory mood right now. Ever since the beginning of the year I've had difficulty in chemistry (I'm weak at math) and I've had an F. But beginning over the weekend I've been studying and writing notes and I've managed to pull up my grade from an F (58.1) to a C (82.1). Not much of a big deal if I had managed to pull it up to say, a B; but still WAY better than before.

nope, in BC its 86 and up. Some american kids who have come here say that school here is a fair bit harder, does anyone have any experience with this?

Whether it is an "a" or a "b" doesn't matter, your GPA is the most important thing.

I'm pretty sure grades have nothing to do with region state or country. For public schools below college level I beleive it's a school district thing, and for colleges I beleive it varies between university. The only things that are the same are standardized tests like the SATs etc.
