E is for your "Excuse"

Some schools use E instead of F on grading scales but F is more widely accepted due to the word failure that can be associated with it. In some other countries they use number, like in Germany they use a scale from 1-6.
It's just a way to show the progression and the pass/fail on a class.

Dropped as confusing since an older system used E for Excellent VG for Very Good, G for Good etc. F of course was Fail in both systems

E is actually used in A-Level. It is where the student achieves from 32-49%.

E = unacceptable (completely fails to meet standards)
F = Failure (fails to meet standards)
either term can be considered redundant, but "F" removes
all doubt of what's meant.

Maybe there was an E that stood for something, but kids probably kept changing their Fs to Es by adding that extra line so they had to do away with it....just a guess.

E was for Effort, but few students nowadays are found to have anything resembling that so it was dropped.

E is usually used for 'experiencing difficulty'

"E" is for Elementary my dear Watson.
