thewinelake Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I was just wondering if they ever award 100% in RAD graded exams? Perhaps even if Osipova did it (in secret) there might be some secret code that perfection is impossible? Or maybe grades are considered a trifling irrelevance in terms of perfection!

allthebest2all Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Yes we have had several students receive 100% at all grade levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdance Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Yes we have had several students receive 100% at all grade levels. Even vocational grades?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthebest2all Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 98 has been the highest vocational but P-8 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowan Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 The expression "graded exams" would include both sets of syllabi, to my way of thinking! They are all "grades" in RAD terminology, whether they are from the Graded syllabus - from Pre-Primary to 8 - or from the Vocational Graded Examinations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legseleven Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Several students have received 100% at DD's dance school, including one child who got 100% for grade 2 and then 100% for grade 3 the next year. Impressive! (she usually 'only' got 90+ or very high 80s ;-)) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowan Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 A few people posted on a thread last year saying their children got 100% in the Intermediate exam. The thread's called Intermediate Foundation Hours Per Week, but has diverged onto other subjects, as is common!

allthebest2all Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Yes Rowan I agree, I always referred to graded exams as any exam until a huge daft debate on a course and the tutor said they were RAD Graded or RAD Vocational. But anyway! I just answered the question. I think it is encouraging if the occasional well deserved full mark is given especially when on the other side of the coin you have some sessions where students do not achieve what they might deserve. I have heard of a quite a few students in Aus who have had 100 for Voc Grades. Edited April 15, 2016 by allthebest2all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circe Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 My dd got 100% at grade 6, which was exciting at the time, though she found exams hard after that as felt couldn't live up to it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutugirl Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 My former pupil gained 100% for inter last year , as did her friend . They are at vocational school . I haven't heard of it before , but it's definitely correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadBallerina Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I once got 98% in an early grade and friends teacher (an examiner) had given someone 100 who then went off to RBS. All RAD graded exams though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
