That's a question like whether there is a sound if a tree falls in a forest and no one is there....
Also, I'll have you know that I'm pretty amazed that I even got that far, since the whole thing is deeply biased towards US education and I wasn't able to pick some answers BECAUSE we don't do stuff that way ^^.
Not all of us do things that way, either! The question about the farthest you got in math, for one: I didn't take math at all in college, as my major didn't require it if you'd done trig in high school (that was, I admit, one of the things that attracted me to it), and I'd done calculus in high school. Badly, I confess, but I'd done it. :)
I simply said I took maths in high school, although we did other stuff than algebra ^^ - we didn't do calculus (not that I went to a high school I went to a grammar school equivalent). But those averages? Those number averages that somehow say something about how good you are? We don't count that way, so I had no idea what to pick.
No clue how it would translate to other systems, but the grading system here is generally a 0-4 point scale:
A 4.0 B 3.0 C 2.0 D 1.0 F 0
C is supposed to be average, but in practice B tends to be, I think. At least my teachers and professors tended to skew the grades so that there were more Bs than anything else, and when I got to grad school, you had to get a 3.0 or better or they'd flunk you out.
Different schools will put the cutoff for the minus and plus grades (B-, B+, etc.) at different number fractions, so I'm not going to attempt to put them down. :)
