<p>No, it’s equally hard to get an A in Canada as it is in the States. My point was that it’s harder to get a 90%. A lot of people who don’t know the Canadian grading system look down on Canadian students’ grades becase the average % grade is lower. An 80% is a respectable grade in Canada, and not as much in the States, but that is simply because it’s harder to score an 80 in Canada than in the States. Sorry if I was (or still am) unclear.</p>
