Okay, here’s the punchline: a Grade 9 is basically a super-powered A. Remember the old A? The one that made you feel like a brainiac? Yeah, the 9 is that, but with extra glitter.
In the old system, an A* was the top. Now, the government decided they needed a new ceiling. So they created the 9, which sits above an A. Think of it like this: if A was a gold medal, the 9 is a gold medal made of diamond.
Still following? Good. Because it gets a little squishy.
