Review ratings: four out of four stars or five out of five stars?

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

Review ratings: four out of four stars or five out of five stars?

Post by Miracle Kingss »

Could someone please clarify something for me as I am not sure how the rating system works? Since my review will still be rated five stars when it is submitted, may I give it a four out of four star rating?

Hi, Miracle. In your written review you will rate the book using a ratio of 5 stars in bold print. However, before you submit your review you have to fill in two multiple choice sections. One for your rating out of 5 stars and another for your rating out of 4 stars. I hope this helps. Have a great day! :techie-studyinggray:

The equivalences are as follows:
1/4 = 1/5 or 2/5
2/4 = 2/5 or 3/5
3/4 = 3/5 or 4/5
4/4 = 5/5
