What the???

A small paragraph off my International Economy syllabus (Singapore's equivalent of a course guide):

Course Grades: The following course grades correspond to the following percentage of the total points:

A+ :100% and above
A :93% to 100%
A- :90% to 93%
B+ :86% to 90%
B :83% to 86%
B- :80% to 83%
C+ :76% to 80%
C :73% to 76%
C- :70% to 73%
D+ :66% to 70%
D :63% to 66%
D- :60% to 63%
F :below 60%

Note: Grades are not rounded-up. An average of 89.99999% is still a B+. An average of 90.00001 is an A-.


And there exist people with GPA of 4.0. Ie. they got above 100% for all modules. Its amazing! Either the Americans are very clever or their tests are very easy. We shall see.
