Hmm IIRC (and it has been a while <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ) in my day we only had a score of 1 - 10 was kinda simple nobody got a 10 ... mostly and 5 was no good anything below 5 forget about it usually 7, 8, 9, was a a pretty good score <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> *rummages thru old papers* hmm yep 7's and '8's with the occasional 9 and 6 thrown in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

In France it is nearly the same thing but it is between 0 and 20 instead of 0 and 10.
10 is not good but just correct. Anything below 10 forget about it.
Usually between 14 and 16 is good. 17, 18 and 19 is a pretty good score.
20 is excellent but exceptionnal.
There is no competition between the students for getting the bettest scores because nearly all the educating system is free.
Young people have to go to school if they are less than 16 years old.
Something important for me : there are no multiple choices tests for evaluating the knowledge of the students.
