Some time ago, August 2006 to be exact, I wrote about going back to school to “fix” my high school grades. Well, today I got my last grade. Here’s some facts about what I took and how it went (explanations below) — and yes, I am bragging!
Fall, 2006
- Society A (100h, MVG)
- Religion A (50h, MVG)
- Swedish B (100h, MVG)
- History A (100h, MVG)
- Project (100h, MVG)
- Science A (50h, MVG)
-
- 500h
Spring, 2007
- Physics A (100h, MVG)
- Chemistry A (100h, MVG)
- Biology A (100h, MVG)
- Math C (100h, MVG)
- English C (100h, MVG)
-
- 500h
Fall, 2007
- Physics B (150h, MVG)
- Chemistry B (100h, MVG)
- Math D (100h, MVG)
- History B (100h, MVG)
-
- 450h
A 3-year high school education (in Sweden) is ~2100h, and I did 1450h in 1.5 years. The grades are IG (failed), G (passed), VG (passed, did well), MVG (passed, did very well). I guess the translation into U.S. grades would be something like F=IG, C=G, B=VG, A=MVG. In any case, I’m proud of myself.

Excellent stuff there Kalle!
Though some is a bit confusing still
High school is the equivalent of US college right? And I’m going to guess the ‘h’ stands for hours? If so though… that’s an awful lot of them for a small amount of subjects. Sheesh.
Aside from my American ignorance on how the grades worked exactly - in the overall I definitely understand the ‘passed very well’ and you deserve lots of kudos for that!

Thanks Nicole!
But nah, high school is the equivalent of high school in the U.S. The thing you go to right BEFORE college. “h” = hours yeah, just like in “mph” or “km/h” etc.
