5 stars with 5 half stars is exactly the same as a ten-point scale.


Oh, four star scale.  Still, it's very similar. 8-point scale instead of 10.  I suppose it would help eliminate the "grade" mentality of only 70+ being acceptable (a "C" grade) and only 90+ being good (an "A" grade)


where does this grade mentality come from? is that a US scale?

For example in AUS

A (Excellent) 90 and above
B (Good) 75-89
C (Satisfactory) 51-74
D (Limited) 31-50
E (Very Low) 26-30
F (Failed) or UG (Un-Graded) 25 and below

 

The point I am making every scale is different in every country.

Websites that use the 10 point scales shoudl define what each of their grades mean, if they going to stick to that scale system.
