It would presumably fit on the table somewhere between "Extinct" and "Critical", although its ordering relative to "tall", "2" and "G" is unclear. |
The title text suggests that a score at this level had been {{w|Grading on a curve|graded on a curve}}, which bumped its rating up to "Venti", which is on the table, two steps below "Least concern". This would be an extraordinary example of such a curve, pushing the score from approximately 2/10 to almost 8/10. This could only happen if the exam was extremely difficult, meaning most results were significantly below 2/10. | The title text suggests that a score at this level had been {{w|Grading on a curve|graded on a curve}}, which bumped its rating up to "Venti", which is on the table, two steps below "Least concern".
