grading system
Le système d'attribution des notes en usage aux USA, le grading system, utilise les lettres de l'alphabet A, B, C, D, E et F, bien que la lettre E soit très rare. A est la meilleure note et F ("Fail") signifie très insuffisant. Les lettres peuvent être accompagnées du signe plus ou moins. Celui qui obtient un A+ a vraiment réalisé une bonne performance.
