Different in marking system!

One day during my lecture, long time ago, my lecturer told us about the different in marking system in UK.

In Cambodia, the score is deducted when we make mistake, right? However, here the mark is putting up and also deducted. If there is ten point to mention in the essay, you have to mention all of it and make it accurately. One idea mean one mark. Mark also deducts when you make vocabulary or grammatical mistake.

In UK, it is so rare for students to get above 70%! Why? Cos, 70+ is A already. It is equivalent to 85 in USA system...

On the other hand, it is so funny to here him said that, if you got less than 80 in German, you failed. Is it true? I don know.

Oh you can go to this website to see the comparison...

Interesting, right?
