Are these the same students, of which only roughly a third can attain an A*-C on an international exam?

There are about 4 different categories for honor roll.
Academic Merit is grades from 70-79%
Honor Roll is 80-84%
High Honors is 85-89%
Principal’s Honors is 90%+

Mind you, I’ve been out of Berkeley for a while, so the exact ranges might have changed slightly.

Some of those papers only require around 65% for an A grade.

Its not smart to compete with work permit holders for those low level blue color jobs paying $5/hr
