Here, over 14/20 is considered a good grade. But good grades aren’t given easily. It’s a failing system. Most students repeat classes multiple times. It’s common to see students repeating 3 times their first year of college. And average grade would be 10-11/20
Everything is based on grades and students work for grades.

@SW-User Same in Korea. We work for grades.

@SW-User Is it common for Korean students to fail/drop out ?

@SW-User Nooooo hahahaha I mean, it happens but rarely because it's pretty much societal suicide.

@SW-User Okay. Here it’s freaking common. So I would say it’s hard but we don’t pressure ourselves, loool.
