Grading system A+ through F , but no "grade E"?

Asked by SassyPink (284points) August 4th, 2009

In terms of academic grading for school, there are only grades A+ through F. But doesn’t ever make you wonder why they skip the letter ‘E’?

A= excellent
B= above average
C= average
D= below average
E=?????????
F= failing
What would it be like if there were a grade E? Would the percentage of the “E grade” be between 59–50% and the “F grade” would move down to be 49% and lower? Also would the E grade be the new D grade (but still a poor grade) and the D grade would be the semi-C grade??
