30 isn't a failing grade?
non american people : we didn't do that here brohow many teachers did she sleep with
That isn't what it means. Extremely competitive highschools in Japan can have as few as 10% of applicants pass their entrance exams. However, they also need to fill in their quota of students so they don't become underpopulated. So if a school has a quota of 100 new students and out of 1000 applicants 908 fail, they must somehow scrounge up 8 failures and prop them up to meet the quota.Proof of Japan declining birthrates? Not enough student they need to take in someone who doesn't pass the test.
But the tests here are all out of 100s, aren't they?Some of the tests are out of 50 rather than 100. 30/50 = 60/100 = Passing grade = C+
That isn't it. All Japanese tests are graded on 100 pt basis. However, passing grade in Japanese (and Chinese, actually) regular tests (not entrance exams) is very low because the average score for test takers is usually under 50. 30 IS a passing grade in most tests in Japanese schools.Some of the tests are out of 50 rather than 100. 30/50 = 60/100 = Passing grade = C+
