B =  60 % to 69 %

C =  50 % to 59 %

D =  40 % to 49 %

Mr Kenney:

Just for anyone interested in comparing all these results, 
Australian University grading system goes as follows:

HD=  85 % to 100 % High Distinction

D= 75 % to 84 % Distinction

C= 65 % to 74 % Credit

P= 50 % to 64 % Pass

CP= 45 % to 49 % Conceded Pass

F=  0 % to 44 % Fail

I bring this up as when we finally find out our "hero's" results an 
international barrier will prohibit anyone from finding out what 
they mean unless literally translated by JK herself. I'd like to see 
the ministry of education's assessment methods and records. Does the 
system gather marks for a total, or start with 100% and deduct marks 
for incorrect answers or bad incantations?

As JK is a teacher, I hope to see her thoughts on grading, 
assessment and examinations through Harry Potter.

before Harry Potter is put to rest.
