Is a grade D a pass at AS level?

Question

my son has taken AS level greek and recieved a D grade is this a pass?What percentage is it?

Answer 1

Yes it is a pass, to pass you have to get grades A-E.

Answer 2

yes a D is a pass

Answer 3

Yes, it is a pass.  On the Statement it will break down the units he sat for AS Greek. and you can work out from there if he got a high D or a Low D and if he would like he could resit some of the units he got lower grades in.

For example, in my spanish as oral exam I got 74UMS our of a possible 105 - which means I only just got a B (a B for that unit is 74)

For the writing unit I got 24UMS out of a possible 90 which is a U... overall I got a D so I'm hoping to resit the units which brought my overall grade down.

hope that makes sense

Answer 4

Yes a D grade is a pass actually anything above a U is a pass and if i remember correctly its about 50% for a D. but of course the grades can change depending on what everyone else got. if everyone did badly the grade bounderies would be doppend and vise versa.

%         Grade

80          A

70          B

60          C

50          D

40          E

<40        U

Answer 5

Not sure....but i believe that depends on other ppl

Answer 6

D is a pass,

Got my results today, i recieved a D, and it only takes on resit for me to get it up to a C.

U is a fail, which i also got. whoops

Answer 7

The Grades A, B, C, D, E are passing grades.

if you get:

40-49% you get an E

50- 59% you get a D

60-69% you get a C

70-79% you get a B

and 80-100% is a A

These grade boundaries will change depending on how well everyone else who sat the exam did - so its hard to say exactly what percentage he actually received.

However if he did alright on certain papers and not so well on other - he can resit the one he didn't do that well on. I resat one of my Histroy AS papers in the Spring of my A2 year - and pulled the grad on that paper from a U to an A - improving my overall grade from a D - B. If he wants to improve his grade - he can resit the papers he didn't do to well on - and keep the grades for the papers he did do well in.

So yes, in conclusion, you're son passed his Greek AS-Level.

Answer 8

Grade D is 50%

so yes he just barely passed

but he passed

Answer 9

Yes, a pass at AS level is E and above

E - 40%

D - 50%

C - 60%

B - 70%

A - 80%

Your son can apply to re-sit the exam in the second year of the course to improve his grade. He needs to be aware that Second year Advanced Level is a lot harder than AS. You experience the jump from GCSE > AS level again but from AS > A2. Most students tend to drop a grade in the second year, but with a bit of hard work there's always room for improvement.

Answer 10

Unfortunately it isn't a pass

at least i don't think it is

I would have thought  A, B, C Pass

Answer 11

a D is a pass

Answer 12

It is a pass yes, although institutions tend to categorise into two sections: A-C pass and D-F pass. Am unsure what percentage this it though.

Answer 13

Grade D is a pass. but im sorry to say tis not a particulary good pass. They work the same GCSE's.

A-E is pass, but you have to achieve A -C grades to be able to progress to the next levels.

If you got a D it would suggest that you struggled alot with teh syllabus but managed to scrape through.

Answer 14

Yes A - E

Answer 15

Yes anything above a  U grade is a pass i.e E and above.

There is no point in everyone putting boundaries down to  explain percentages because they can vary from 15% either way depending on the percentage spread of marks  

Answer 16

A d is 60%.
