What got here approximately grew to become into, that E generated various misunderstanding, the two as an excellence grade and as a fail grade. A and F made greater sense. A, using fact its alphabetical, and F using fact historically it stands for Fail. So maximum faculties accompanied the A and F equipment. desire that clarifies it!

Some E graders were so embarrassingly low percentage-wise that it was changed to just F for failed. That way the student never knew they had a very low % mark.

It's because the letter "F" as a grade is an abbreveation for "Fail", where as "A","B","C", and "D" are not abbreviations...I have no idea if that really is why but it sounds good at least...hehehe

There never was an "E" grade. That's just the way it goes.
