unsatisfactory / deficient Explanation: deficiente, insuficiente, aceptable, bueno, excelente, sobresaliente = deficient, unsatisfactory, acceptable, good, excellent, outstanding However, in USA at least, there are only 5: A, B, C, D & F: Excellent, good, fair, poor and failing. It would appear that both "deficiente" and "insuficiente" would have to be failing because neither one reaches "aceptable". |

D/F Explanation: Sobresaliente - A+ Excelente - A- Bueno - B Aceptable - C Insuficiente - D Deficiente - F -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 31 mins (2008-09-05 15:24:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I gave you letter grades because you said this was for the US, this is what's commonly used here. Normally, each grade can have a + or a - according to each school's standards, so we really have 5 levels, not 6. If you need to translate it a different way, then what you propose would work well. Deficiente is failed, and insuficiente would be unsatisfactory. |
