is five A's and one B good? uni second year

last trimester i got three A's and the second trimester I got 2A's and a B
are five A's with one B a decent grade for someone whos back after 10 years in education? my exams were done about 4 weeks ago

so five A's and a B good enough in general?? it was engineering, and quite difficult topics, i feel a bit down because of the B i got
You're asking if getting 5 As (The top grade) is good enough??
Seems like you're just showing off to be honest!

no seriously i know it may seem that way but that one B is really stressing me out, not showing off I didn't know where else to post

lmfao

Well I got 8 C's, 3 B's and an A and I earn £23,000 p/a aged 19, so if that's anything to go by, I'd say you're probably on the right track.

Who gets A's B's and C's anymore anyway...

it's uni, anything over 60% i.e. 2.1 standard is good.

Which engineering topics were the A's and B's in?

Grades are often relative to the subject matter

Yeah I didn't think Universities used a lettered grading system...

The comment about being 19 kinda gave that away :P

No that's pathetic, you're a complete failure in life with no sort of future ahead...

EDIT: Wow 3 people don't seem to have a sense of humour/know how to interpret sarcasm, of course it's good :smile:

A's as in above 70% at my uni, in all honesty im actually getting above between 80-90% overall on all my modules bar one (the b) which was above 60%

we still get graded A B or C which relates to percentage
thanks for the replies makes me feel a bit better

engineering topics were

maths for design (advanced calculus)
materials and manufacture
race engineering
mechanical and thermal design
aerodynamics
design engineering

everything averaged above 80% except race engineering I got 65% in

Is this in the US?
