Supporters of the non-scaled grading system have been advocating for the removal of the scaled grading system. However, the scaled grading system is more advantageous than the non-scaled grading system. The argument that the pass fail grading system helps to asses’ students’ basic command in a better way is not accurate. One of the advantage of using the scaled grading system is its importance for the selection of students for the college admission. The scaled grading system gives an opportunity for college recruiters to pick good students. Had there been pass/fail based evaluation, it would be difficult for colleges to pick good applicants. However, my intention is not to say that scaled grade is only the factor to get acceptance in colleges.
