Just to throw in my comments for this thread since its revived, I go to a Pass Fail school. Meaning a 70=100 here. It’s a really nice thing not to have to worry about curves and rankings (we are unranked, not just pass fail), and it doesn’t seem to significantly lower the averages despite the lack of grade incentives. I believe we tend to average in the mid 80’s to low 90’s. What P/F systems DO relieve is a lot of the exam and post exam test. Figuring out that you missed an easy problem doesn’t put you into cold sweats here.
