June 5, 200619 yr This was the debate in one of my classes today. When I say I aced a test, I mean A+ 100%.
June 5, 200619 yr I've have to go with 100% as well. I just find it hard to believe someone can ace a test when they missed 10% of the questions or something.
June 6, 200619 yr When I say that I aced a test, I usually mean that I did really well on it. That usually means I got an A, but it could be A+.

June 6, 200619 yr If a course/test is going to be curved based on the highest score, then it's possible to miss a few questions and still wind up with the highest score possible
June 6, 200619 yr Does "Flunked" mean you got a zero? Nope, it means you got a failing grade. Aced means an "A" grade. Edited June 6, 200619 yr by LosMediasBlancas
June 6, 200619 yr from good ol' Merriam-Webster: ace One entry found for ace. Main Entry: 2 ace Function: transitive verb Inflected Form(s): aced; ac·ing 1 : to score an ace against (an opponent) 2 : to make (a hole in golf) in one stroke 3 : to gain a decisive advantage over : DEFEAT -- usually used with out 4 : to earn a high grade on (as an examination); especially: to get an A on
June 6, 200619 yr Aced IMO means that you recieved an A on the test depending on what the grading scale is. Perfect is a 100%
June 6, 200619 yr Author It's interesting to see this so close. I have always used ace in terms of getting an A+ on a test, but apparently my friend who said it meant A and fired all of this up in class was right...in a way. I'm still only going to use it in terms of me getting and A+.
