Section B – Academic Background Most Recent Final Marks Although the academic data varied depending on the subject, the overall proportion of students in each category is similar. Most respondents reported receiving marks in the 80% to 89% range or 90% or more range in most subjects. Physical Education and Health (88%), Cooperative education (84%) and Skilled trades (80%) are the three subjects in which marks were the highest (80% or higher). Conversely, Mi’kmaw/Wolastoqey (10%), Native Studies (5.8%), and Law (5.4%) are the subjects with the highest failure rates (less than 60%). It should be noted that these marks were self-reported and may not represent the actual results achieved.
