Help needed with meaning.

What does "moderately successful" mean?
Is the meaning positive or negative? If a student is "moderately successful" is he/she nearer to very successful or merely just passed?
Thanks in advance.

I would say that �Moderately Successful � is not negative. It �s a success, but a small to medium one. �Extremely successful� would be a large success.

Hello I agree with both submissions. Moderate can be taken to mean �to a medium extent � and implies within reasonable limits. It occurs somewhere between extremes (just passing and getting 100%). I would think that moderately successful is not negative but mid-range in terms of marks. Have a great day! |
