"A study comparing Dutch and American university grades concluded that it takes the same amount of effort to get an A in America, as to get a 7/10 in The Netherlands. Also note that to receive a pass you usually have to answer 70-80% correct."
"The fact that we get 6/10 doesn't mean we have any less of a performance culture than America. Just a different grading system. If you don't pass your test you will get dropped down to a lower level."
"An important note here is the grading curve, and its absence in the NL. It doesn't matter how well you did amongst your peers, what matters is if you've mastered the subject or not. The 6 being the passing grade is not by accident, this is the level where you've mastered enough to progress, the person who made the exam knows this, and has adjusted accordingly. therefore, the 6 really is good enough."
