I don't think any UK grading system would allow anyone to get high marks like that WITHOUT being factually correct as well as being interesting to read... I know England is different from Scotland in terms of university grading systems but I don't think they're THAT different that people get away with saying anything. :P
Yes, factual correctness would certainly be a prerequisite for a grade in the 80s and 90s, no matter how liberal a grader the Doctor is! Fact is that he already bases tutoring Bill on the assumption of exceptional grades -“You ever get less than a first, then it's over”. Being interesting to read, being well-written, including original thought... even if the Doctor was adding a good 20 points because he felt like it, it would still have to be an exceptional essay.
That’s all in-show reasoning of course, in practice someone probably just thought “let’s give her scarily high grades to make a point”. But staying within a frame of logic in which characters actually make these decisions, I think the rest of the episode shows as that Bill can surprise the Doctor. She asks questions no one has thought about before. She makes leaps and bounds to come up with an hypothesis. As the says Doctor, “I can see I'm going to have to up my game”.

I'm going for immortal, time-travelling, water lesbian. Hey, if she starts off the series dead, the only way to go is to come back, right??
@gwylock-one replied to your post “really could have done with more gay without the dead lesbian, thanks...”
she's only sort of dead (I mean converted to weird alien water stuff and off exploring the universe sounds better than being dead to me), I suspect she'll be back- if not this year then next.
yeah, that’s what i’m hoping for, but it’s still unpleasant than the first thing they did was kill her off
thinkingingallifreyan a réagi à votre billet “Peter: incredible, enigmatic, doctorish Pearl: delightful,...”
I KNOW RIGHT?? Literally could write him out of the episode and nothing would change.
thinkingingallifreyan a réagi à votre billet “why did Pearl Mackie have to share her first credits with Matt Lucas...”
He'll never be relevant and will only fill me with irritation with his irrelevance.
HONESTLY. And idk maybe he’d be more likeable if it wasn’t Matt Lucas who just irritates me anyway? but like. he didn’t add anything and as much as I love big tardis families it was just annoying that Bill is having to share her start with someone who would normally be a one-off comic relief side character.... I saw someone say they saw sth about him becoming plot relevant later? but ehhhhh

THAT'S BRAD DOURIF'S DAUGHTER? That makes so much sense.
INORITE? I was like ‘huh, she reminds me of Brad Dourif’ and then I looked her up.
Are you coming to Scotland, by any chance? :P
Not that I know of. Always wanted to visit. There’s a linguistics department there—rather famous one. Maybe let them know I could come and give a talk? :)
The Six Thatchers, A BETTER ENDING: "I can still surprise you", says Vivian, drawing her gun. At that moment she is faced with two options: Shoot a person, or shoot A TANK FULL OF SHARKS. Naturally she chooses the SHARK TANK. The glass shatters and we cut to afterwards when Sherlock and Mary have escaped a watery death. "Oh it's a shame Vivian got eaten by a shark beore we could turn her over to the authorities", says Mary. [END CREDITS ROLL]
Post-credits scene:
INT. AQUARIUM - NIGHT
John finally ENTERS. SPLASH! He’s trod in very deep water.
The sharks all turn to face him.
