The Comprehensive Subject in the 2026 Mid-Year Exam cannot have a C grade due to the stringent academic standards and the importance of the exam in evaluating student performance. The C grade, typically representing a level of proficiency that is below average, would undermine the credibility of the exam and the integrity of the educational system. According to data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the average passing rate for comprehensive subjects in the United States is around 75%, with a significant number of students scoring above a C grade. Allowing a C grade would not only devalue the achievements of high-achieving students but also fail to accurately reflect the academic rigor expected of students at this level.
