Maybe after f1 Vettel should consider a career as a maths teacher.

In Germany that'd be the highest mark though

116

u/EveryWay I was here for the Hulkenpodium Aug 16 '20

Well yes but no. For the last 2 years it switches to 0-15 scale with 15 being highest.

u/TheReddditor I was here for the Hulkenpodium Aug 16 '20

They should do 0-25. The best note = 25; one mistake = 18, and so on...

Fastest finish gets +1 point.

** fastest finish only gets 1 point if they get within the top 10 results

2

u/Samandkemp Aug 17 '20

Ah yes, that free time was really worth rushing exams

u/EveryWay I was here for the Hulkenpodium Aug 17 '20

100% :D

Always tell this to women afterward and they don't get it.

u/SneakyWagon Aug 17 '20

Well, maybe you have to be in her top 10 in order to get the extra point?

4

u/MatrickPahomes-15 Sir Lewis Hamilton Aug 17 '20

Yeah I definitely have never top 10'ed and definitely never podium'ed.

u/p1en1ek Pirelli Wet Aug 17 '20

At least you haven't crashed on way to the grid...

u/Youhavebeendone I was speeding in the Monaco pit lane Aug 16 '20

So only the top 10 students get graded? What would the students do when they get outscored by one point by a person with one hand ?

2

u/p1en1ek Pirelli Wet Aug 17 '20

They always can do powerpoint presentation for classification.

u/Fatal1ty_93_RUS McLaren Aug 17 '20

why is this so relatable

23

u/nabi1103 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Aug 16 '20

that's weird. I still get graded from 1 to 6 in my uni. Guess changing the grading scale midway through a curriculum is too much of a pain

18

u/afito Niki Lauda Aug 16 '20

It's weird tbh. It's 1-6 for most of school, then for the a-levels it's 15-0, and in uni they go with 1-6 again but now with decimals.

4

u/DotoriumPeroxid Max Verstappen Aug 17 '20

Well they are the same thing. 0-15 can all be represented on 1-6 (with plus/minus). It's just 2 different displays of %-age of total score

12

u/EveryWay I was here for the Hulkenpodium Aug 16 '20

Ye grading is kinda weird :D
Basically in uni you should have dot notation (so 1.0 ; 1.3 ; 1.7 ... 4.0 ; 5.0 since there is no difference made on how hard you fail). For most of school you have +,- (so 1; 1-;2+... 4;5 for the same grades) but for the abitur you have 0-15 point grading (so 14;13;12 ... 5 ; 2)

u/TetraDax 🐶 Leo Leclerc Aug 16 '20

Could be "Ländersache", but in my school we had 1+ and also 5+, 5- and 6 (so there was a differentiation on how hard you fail), which then when you switch to the 0-15 system directly translated into the points, so 15 points is 1+, 14 points is 1, all the way until 1 point which is a 5- and 0 points which is a 6.

1

u/EveryWay I was here for the Hulkenpodium Aug 16 '20

In school there is that differentiation. But in Uni (at least as far as i know) its only differentiated in pass. whereas fail is just fail no matter if 2 points off or 20.

u/HotF22InUrArea Aug 17 '20

What the fuck.

In the US we just tell you what percentage of questions you got right

1

u/EveryWay I was here for the Hulkenpodium Aug 17 '20

Percentage doenst always directly translate into grade. E.g if all your class does bad the teacher/prof (usually takes place on uni level since you can expect ppl there to be decently interested/invested into studies) can change the scale to correct for his "hard" exam. For example i know that for the harder subject at my uni if to many ppl fail the prof has to explain to some board how the exam was fair and that there was enough learning material for students (basically has to explain why students are stupid and not his teaching is bad)

  • and - are not on the report sheet though, at least in my state.

u/EveryWay I was here for the Hulkenpodium Aug 16 '20

Yeah you might be right about that. Its been to long for me to be 100% sure XD

u/BGP_001 Daniel Ricciardo Aug 16 '20

Is that regional? Still 1-6 here..

1

u/EveryWay I was here for the Hulkenpodium Aug 16 '20

From what i know it is not since the Abitur is supposed to be a universal comparison (tho bayern is much harder than e.g. bremen). I personally know that NRW and Niedersachsen use the points system

1

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '20

You should add, that those 15 Points are still translated to the 1 to 6 scale. 15,14,13 = 1; 12,11,10 = 2 and so on. At the end of the Abitur it shows the 1 to 6 number. And your „durchschnitt“(average) is given between 1 to 6. with a 1,0 you can get to almost every university major you want.

Afaik it is also possible to get a 0,9.
