How our grading system works

Our review process is straightforward.

Here's how it works:

  • We pose 12 questions during the review.
  • Only 5 of these questions directly contribute to the final grade.
  • The grading is based on points:
    • Four questions are valued between 1-3 points each.
    • One question is valued between 0 or 2.4 points.
  • The maximum achievable score is 14.4 points.

The grading logic is as follows:

                                    $grade = 'F'; // Default to 'F' grade
                                    if ($total_score == 14.4) {
                                        $grade = 'A+';
                                    } elseif ($total_score >= 12.4) {
                                        $grade = 'A';
                                    } elseif ($total_score >= 10.4 && $total_score < 12.4) {
                                        $grade = 'B+';  
                                    } elseif ($total_score >= 9) {
                                        $grade = 'B';
                                    } elseif ($total_score >= 6.8) {
                                        $grade = 'C';
                                    } elseif ($total_score >= 5) {
                                        $grade = 'D';
                                    }     
                                    

In essence:

  • A perfect score of 14.4 earns an A+.
  • Scores equal to or greater than 12.4 earn an A.
  • Scores from 10.4 through 12.3 will earn a B+.
  • Scores equal to or greater than 9 earn a B.
  • Scores equal to or greater than 6.8 earn a C.
  • Scores equal to or greater than 5 earn a D.
  • Any score below 5 is graded as an F.

To summarize, we only endorse strains with grades of A+, A, and B+, ensuring the highest quality for our readers.
