That probably got him the ban?

On top of that, despite living in Renmark, he still moaned about Melbourne. I thought he didn't live in Melbourne anymore? Or maybe he does and Renmark is his "fantasy" place of residence?

I felt it was going to happen at some point with him swearing like a sailor when Melbourne gets a cold front. Melbourne's average high during the summer struggles to reach 79 and those "southerly" winds he hates so much are what I would expect to happen. Either Melbourne's scorching hot or nice and cool.

I hope he gets partial credit on those questions because it would not be fun getting these questions right if there was no partial credit given. If there was a 75 (C+) it can turn into an 80 (B-) with 5 points given.

Wait a minute...75% is a C+ in USA? WHAT! That's a high B low A in australia.

77-83 C
84-91 B
92-100 A

For 12th graders in our new curriculum, and C downwards = repeat the exam. (83%! Or 5/6 right)

Here

F<59
D 60-69
C 70-79
B 80-89
A 90-100

WOW!

Here- varies between subjects but this is averaged out
E 0-30%
D 30-50%
C 50-60%
B 60-75%
A 75-100%

Can change, I know this guy who somehow got 37% in 1st semester and got a C. But a lot of people got terrible marks that semester (I still averaged ~70% )

Yeah, **** this. I'm moving to Northlake. It's going to be 41°C, sunny and windy today.

These foreign marking schemes sound crazy. Here are UK university grade boundaries.

1st: >70%
2.1: 60-69%
2.2: 50-59%
3rd: 40-49%
Fail: <40%

This link has a conversion to GPA for the Americans who don't have a clue what the above means.
