the American equivalent of full marks.

A perfect score.

Hi GG, do you think 98 out of 100 Marks is a perfect score? Or only 100 can be regarded as a perfect core? Thanks.

Hi,

Definitely not!

I thought maybe I had misunderstood full marks = A+, not 100%, perfect, etc.

Thanks.

Universities in Canada use 100 system accompanied by A, B, C, etc., to describe academic performance.
It seems to me that 100 out of 100 is THE perfect score. But even A+ might not be referred as a perfect score since A+ could mean that guy got 95 or more out of 100.
Shall I adjust this feeling? Thanks.
