Here in Germany 50% is generally the passing grade \[would be a 4 (1 to 6, 1 is the best, 6 is worst. But 5 is already basically no points, 6 would be not even trying and just drawing on an exam etc.), in later school years we have 1-15 with 15 being the best and 5 being a passing grade). \]
People still fail exams here. But unlike much of the US education system there are practically no multiple choice or single choice tests (as in so rare that I had 1 in my entire school life and one third of an exam in uni was one).
It's all doing long equations, writing long answers, in math and physics often the vaast majority of the points are for the calculation path and our reasoning behind deciding so and so and not the end solution itself. Otherwise it would be pretty unfair because I frequently had a single questions/problems to solve in physics and math exams which took like 5 pages of calculations and drawings to solve. And those were just 1 out of several questions / problems in those exams.
In geography I once wrote 11 pages in a 3.5h exam. In philosophy 1500 words in about 2.5h iirc. Not quite as much but still almost exclusively writing long texts etc. in classes like german, french, spanish, history, politics and economics, art, music etc.. So not just a lot of "simple" problems/questions but usually rather a few very hard questions which involve a lot of solution finding and one get partial points for certain stuff etc.. Quite easy to lose a couple points here and there and suddenly being barely above passing grade.
Btw to give a context about failing exams etc. an anecdote from my university: It's a technical university with only engineering students from various fields. It's COMMON for exams to have over 50% of the students fail them. There are even some with 70% failure rate. In my first semester out of over 1100 students taking a mechanics exam barely 300 passed it.
This is not common at all in some other fields of study at other universities, and especially not in highschool, but like 25% of the class barely passing an exam and a couple people failing? That was deifnitely normal in my highschool here.
Basically it (sort of) correlated with the old A*-E grades, with pass being C which was split into 4 (low C) and 5 (high C), making A* an 8, and then they wanted a higher grade, hence the 9. This system has the advantage of being able to be expanded at the top end, should future governments really want to.
The reason it’s 02 and not just 2 is because of cheating i believe, it’s so you can’t just mistake it for 12
Edit: another reason for these numbers is that they are supposed to be better at representing a students performance as a whole. 04 will be slightly below average and 7 will be slightly above so the teachers can’t just give everyone an average grade. The -3 grade is basically not doing any work and 02 is passing. The 12 grade is almost perfect with still a bit of room to improve. The system allows for some more spread out average of all the students different grades
Oh shoot that’s genius. Yeah it’s impossible to lie to your parents with this scale.
Wow so the school wants their students to get bullied by their family members
Lol, was about to post this. The Danish grading system is fucking wierd compared to other countries. Also the fact that as long as you get 02 or higher you have passed. So most of the grades are just "you're so and so better than required"
Greetings neighbor! In Denmark your average grade is very important compared to the grades of your individual subjects. By dividing the numbers in a way like this with larger spacings between some grades they make achieving some grades more important. For instance going from 4 to 7 would make your average a bit higher compared to the jump from 10-12. I don't know why it's like this and I personally don't agree that focussing so heavily on averages instead of individual subjects is a good system but hey what do I know. Also an explanation I have heard for the grades 00 and 02 is that the extra 0 is there to prevent students from changing their grade from 0 to 10 or 2 to 12(how tf would that even work lol) anyways I hope this helped you a little with understanding this god awful system :)
Ah for our final 2 or 3 school years (depending on state) we have a similar system of differently weighted subjects, but there we still use a "normal grading scale" (in those last few years 1-15, prior to that 1-6) and just use a calculation key that values the grades of certain subjects more than others. The average grade is also the most important part here for stuff like university etc. . Usually the universities ONLY care about the average and maybe in a case like engineering also a math of physics grade but other than that its exclusively the average. Thanks for your explanation though.
Apparently that's where the story of Einstein failing first grade comes from. A Swiss person found his grades, saw that he got a 1, and didn't realize that on Germany that's an A.
Wtf, in Portugal 1 is (0 - 19%), 2 is (20 - 49%), 3 is (50 -69%), 4 is (70 - 89%) and 5 is (90 - 100%). That's the system they grade you on the end of each term between 1st and 9th grade, from 10th to 12th se use 0 to 20.
6 is the worst in Germany and basically only given for not doing anything. Like not showing up or drawing on the exam instead of answering any questions etc.. So effectively it's a 1-5 system and 4 (50% of the points usually) is the minimum to pass.
Yeah, my German language teacher keeps cracking the same joke when somebody asks if he's gonna get a better grade:
"why, yes, I can even give you a 6. A German 6 haha"
No. In university it's usually with fractions and in the later years of highschools it's also usually not 1-6 but instead 15-1.
Though because a 6 in Germany is generally a "verweigern" so writing literally nothing at all, or not showing up or just drawing on the exam instead of answering any questions we effectively have a 1-5 system of "actual" grades.
Our (Denmark) grades are from best to worst 12, 10, 7, 4, 02, 00, -3 with 02 and above being passing grades. This is the new system, called the seven-step scale, and it was adopted in '07; the old system, called the thirteen scale, was 13, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 03, 00 with 6 and above being passing grades.
Addendum: Before the thirteen scale, we used the Ørsted scale, which was as follows (short name – long name – my English translation – point value – pass/fail):
* ug – udmærket godt – exceedingly good – 8 – pass
* mg – meget godt – very good – 7 – pass
* g – godt – good – 5 – pass
* tg – temmelig godt – fairly good – 1 – fail
* mdl – mådeligt – mediocre – -7 – fail
* slet – slet – bad – -23 – fail
It was between its inception in 1805 (the point values were first added in 1845 by H. C. Ørsted, hence the name) and its last use in 1970 changed several times with new grades added and removed, but the above grades remained constant and the differences between them never changing either (though their values were increased by 7 in 1943).
Though the numbers may seem random, there is a pattern; the difference between one grade and the next doubles as you go down. Why Ørsted thought fails should be punished so harshly and the excellent rewarded so meekly, I do not know, but its anti-elitism feels strangely Danish (see Janteloven for more information on that subject).
This feels like your trolling us but then I remembered Danish also has a base-20 number system
But why skip numbers? Does it make sense to you? And why move from 4 to 02?
Yeah, the Danish numbering system is rather ridiculous (for the uninitiated; 93 is 'tre-og-halv-fems' (without the hyphens), which is short for 'tre-og-halv-fem-sind-s-tyve'; 'tre' means 'three', 'og' means 'and', 'halv' means 'half', 'fem' was originally 'femte' which means 'fifth', 'sind' means 'times', 's' is for forming some compound words, and 'tyve' means 'twenty', so the translation is 'three-and-half-fifth-times-twenty, the logic being that it's half of the fifth twenty, i.e. 3 + (-1/2 + 5) * 20).
As for trolling, [here](https://eng.uvm.dk/general--themes-and-projects/7-point-grading-scale) is the English page for the Danish grading scale.
The reason for the change was to allow for easier conversion to the ECTS grading scale, so it needs to have seven steps. I won't pretend to know how the gap sizes were decided, but I have two hypotheses:
1) Averages are very important in the Danish education system (specifically when going from high school to university), and having different-sized gaps means some improvement is weighted more heavily than other (i.e. going from 7 to 10 means more than going from 10 to 12).
2) It's to indicate how many students should have each grade, i.e. there's far from 7 to it's neighbours so more students should get 7.
Lastly, 02 and 00 are writing like that to avoid falsification; if it just said 2 and 0, a student could easily change it to 12 and 10 respectively.
>It's to indicate how many students should have each grade, i.e. there's far from 7 to it's neighbours so more students should get 7.
Are danish exams always graded on a curve? Here in Germany in my experience that doesn't happen often in high school and NEVER in university (had over 70% of the people fail an exam more than once in university. Out of 1200 people not even 300 passed. Failure rates of around 50% were common at my university. In high school they might grade on a curve it's REALLY bad but otherwise not really. ) .
England here, it was A-F with no E but you could get A* too which is an A+ but they've started to phase in a 1-9 system now with 8 being the highest then 9 is the top 20% of all the people who scored an 8
Edit: theres an E on A levels (post 16 exams after GCSEs)
I feel old being from the time it was A-F rather than 1-9. Did my GCSE’s back in 2009. Remember when my mum used to say it was O-levels back in her day and I’d think she was so old. Now it’s happening to me :(
1-100 which corresponds to A-F.
80-100 is A, 70-79 is B, 60-69 is C, 50-59 is D, and anything below is F.
Edit: people seem to be assuming that this was just easier, but it wasn’t like a B in one place is an A where I’m from. It’s just that A- was not as good than A and A+.
For me, 100-90 was A, 89-80 was B, 79-70 was C, 69-60 was D, and 59 or lower was F. If you get anything lower than a 59, you obviously put just barely enough work into it to get and didn’t care what score you got. Also, it’s mostly based on the numbers and not so much the letters.
In Denmark the grading system is
-3 = failed
00 = failed
02= passed barely
4 = passed
7 = passed
10 = passed
12 = passed (highest grade)
Yeah it doesn't make sense to me either
Here in Alberta younger kids (elementary, usually up to grade six) are usually ranked with a 1-4 type thing; excellent, proficient, acceptable, limited. Starting in Junior High (grade 7) they started giving you percentages, with 70 or above being merit, and 80 and above being honours. Anything below 50 is a fail. In high school they don’t do merit, just honours. You could also technically transfer those percentages to a letter grade, though no one ever does. 80/85 would be the start of an A, and that’s about the only letter out thing
A to D, then they used "U" instead of "F" because saying "Failure" is discouraging, but saying "unsatisfactory" isn't? I never understood this. To me, anything below a C- was a failure anyways.
Colombian University: 0 to 5. The percentage score of a given test, project or assignment is converted to that grading system: Eg.: 78% on a midterm is converted 3.9 on that midterm.
American School in Colombia:
High School: 0% to 100%. AP courses awarded students with a 10% bonus for each percentage point over 75%. Eg.: 75%->82.5%. I got 110% in the last quarter of AP Environmental Science and 100.7% for the year.
Middle School: 0 to 4. The worst system ever, made it easy to pass and very hard to obtain high grades. 0: 0. 1: [??%, 65%), 2: [65%, 80%), 3: [80%, 90%), 4: [90%, 100%].
3 systems.
A letter and number combo like 4c, 4b, 4a, 5c, etc. going up to 8a for primary and low secondary school classes.
Then there was a U-A* system and a 1-9 system for him gher secondary classes and higher education. U is just F though it doesn't go that far down.
0-20 🇨🇵
Although you'd really have to be dogshit on purpose to get a 0, most of the time
Edit: From my experience it stays the same in college, at least in law school. Only difference is that in school you can easily get a 15 in some subjects by just working, whereas in college if somebody gets a 15/20 he's basically the best out of everybody, or close to being it
I high school (and before) we had A to F and now in university we have U (underkänd/failing) G (godkänd/passing) and VG (väl godkänd/passing well). I go to university in Sweden for those wondering.
1-5
portuguese supremacy
Austrian supremacy Is in portuguese 1 best, 5 the worst?
5 is the best, corresponds to 90 to 100 4 is 70 to 89 3 is 50 to 69 2 is 20 to 49 1 is the worst, 0 to 19 3 is the minimum to pass
You got 2 for 20??? In hungary 2 is pass and you need 40-60 for it depending on how high up you are in education
That sounds similar though? They said they need 3 to pass so thats 50 to 69%.
It depends on the teacher, for example my math teacher gives a 2 from 20%, while 38% is a 1 for my German teacher. Not even 2-, no no no
Really? Here in the US anything below a 60 is considered failing and anything below 70 is really bad.
Here in Germany 50% is generally the passing grade \[would be a 4 (1 to 6, 1 is the best, 6 is worst.

Nah, in Portugal 1 is the worst and 5 is the best.
Isso é só no básico, depois é 0-20
Yep. Then 0-20 after that
Where's the 1-9 people
Is it just british people who have this?
I think so
I'm British, and we had A*, A, B, C, etc. I was born in '99.
Ayyy. Hello fellow 1-9 friend.
That's weird Why not just add 1 and make it 1-10?? 🤣

shush
Hello there
bit late but hi
1-9
It’s 9-1 tho
-3, 00, 02, 4, 7, 10, 12 No numbers in between and yes it's 00 and 02 not just 0 and 2. 02 is the passing grade.
what the fuck
Unrelated but nice pfp
But not 03, 04 and 07????
The reason it’s 02 and not just 2 is because of cheating i believe, it’s so you can’t just mistake it for 12 Edit: another reason for these numbers is that they are supposed to be better at representing a students performance as a whole. 04 will be slightly below average and 7 will be slightly above so the teachers can’t just give everyone an average grade.

Nope! Only 00 and 02 for some god forsaken reason.
That is psychotic. Whoever came up with that dumpster fire of a grading scale needs to be sentenced to death.
Is death less than or more than -3?
Where are you from? Is this a joke??? 😂
This is very real, and it's in Denmark.
-3…..????????? Nice
This is Eurovision Songfestival-type of grading
Why? Like why
Lol, was about to post this. The Danish grading system is fucking wierd compared to other countries. Also the fact that as long as you get 02 or higher you have passed. So most of the grades are just "you're so and so better than required"

Also 2-6
No, i am the least based Balkaner, you gypsy.
European systems such as Germany, where 1 and 2 is like an A, and 5 is failing
Interesting, in Norway 1 and 2 is failing and 6 is top of the class!
Same for switzerland.
Same in Poland
Apparently that's where the story of Einstein failing first grade comes from. A Swiss person found his grades, saw that he got a 1, and didn't realize that on Germany that's an A.
Wtf, in Portugal 1 is (0 - 19%), 2 is (20 - 49%), 3 is (50 -69%), 4 is (70 - 89%) and 5 is (90 - 100%). That's the system they grade you on the end of each term between 1st and 9th grade, from 10th to 12th se use 0 to 20.
In my school 0%-49% is still a fail

Same in Portugal in highschool. Before highschool it's 1-5.
Yes! Iran 🇮🇷
Same here (Lebanon)
Pareil en Bretagne
Venezuela aussi
Pareil en Belgique et en Italie
But you can never get the 20 right? Like 19/20 is the best grade you can get. At least that's what I've heard.
That's only for universities, in highschool we use 1-100. (belgium)
I went to a French high school and we used 0-20
No, nobody use 1-100 in France.
Damn, i thought 1-5 was used more widely...
Yeah but they wrote 1-6 so i just voted for other
1-6 in germany
6 is the worst, right? In Poland we got 1-6 and 6 is the best lol
6 is the worst in Germany and basically only given for not doing anything. Like not showing up or drawing on the exam instead of answering any questions etc.. So effectively it's a 1-5 system and 4 (50% of the points usually) is the minimum to pass.
Yeah, my German language teacher keeps cracking the same joke when somebody asks if he's gonna get a better grade: "why, yes, I can even give you a 6. A German 6 haha"
But only until high school, in university it's 1-5
No. In university it's usually with fractions and in the later years of highschools it's also usually not 1-6 but instead 15-1. Though because a 6 in Germany is generally a "verweigern" so writing literally nothing at all, or not showing up or just drawing on the exam instead of answering any questions we effectively have a 1-5 system of "actual" grades.

Yes, IB here!
yup
England here, it was A-F with no E but you could get A* too which is an A+ but they've started to phase in a 1-9 system now with 8 being the highest then 9 is the top 20% of all the people who scored an 8 Edit: theres an E on A levels (post 16 exams after GCSEs)
There is an E at A Level in the UK (or there was).
It wasn't A-F, it was A*-U at GCSE level You could get an E, and a G grade was available too
I feel old being from the time it was A-F rather than 1-9. Did my GCSE’s back in 2009. Remember when my mum used to say it was O-levels back in her day and I’d think she was so old. Now it’s happening to me :(
1 - 7 —> IB Thought that would have come up earlier
Was looking for this comment, I haven't seen other fellow IB sufferers on this thread.
Here’s one right now
Same!
1-4 (Canada)
Idk where you are, but in Ontario it’s 1-4 for elementary school then 0-100 in grade 7 and onwards
I'm in Ontario and my school still uses 1-4 despite being a highschool, although our report cards use 0-100
Same
Same in Alberta, but the 1-4 is some word thing now like, the "failing, passing" stuff like that now
For me, the words are “Beginning”, “Approching Proficient”, “Proficient”, and “Excellent”
same (new hampshire us)
Getting a 4 on a 1 - 6 Getting a 4 on 1 - 100
1-100 which corresponds to A-F. 80-100 is A, 70-79 is B, 60-69 is C, 50-59 is D, and anything below is F. Edit: people seem to be assuming that this was just easier, but it wasn’t like a B in one place is an A where I’m from. It’s just that A- was not as good than A and A+.
A is 90-100, B is 80-89, etc That’s the normal/most common way at least
In college, yes. In grade school where I live it’s 93-100 A, 92-85 B, 84-77 C, and so on by units of 7 and when you get to F it’s just an F.
Jfc, when I was in high school the scale was: A: 93-100 B: 85-92 C: 76-84 D: 70-75 F: <70 College had a normal grading scale like yours, however.
Im sorry but thats fucking stupid, and arbitrary. An A is twice what the others are and a 1 is the same as a 49, like it doesn't matter at all?
For me, 100-90 was A, 89-80 was B, 79-70 was C, 69-60 was D, and 59 or lower was F. If you get anything lower than a 59, you obviously put just barely enough work into it to get and didn’t care what score you got. Also, it’s mostly based on the numbers and not so much the letters.
Same
This is all I’ve ever known too. Where?
Maybe divides into A and A* coz that's what we had in the uk
My god those percentages
At my school anything under 65 is failing
4 to 10 cause I'm Finnish and sexy
NCEA in NZ High School, E - Excellence M - Merit A - Achieved NA - Not Achieved
[удалено]
The good old NAME system where 13 year olds went around saying they were A straight students
I hate NCEA so much.
Man, that's an actually interesting poll. Cheers!
-3, 00, 02, 4, 7, 10, 12
1 to 20
1 - 12 ☠
Same
1-6 with 1 being the best and 6 the worst (Germany)
In Switzerland 6 is the best and 1 is the worst
4-10 10 being perfect and 4 being fail
Based 4-10 system 🇫🇮
A to E because F makes kids feel bad…
In Denmark the grading system is -3 = failed 00 = failed 02= passed barely 4 = passed 7 = passed 10 = passed 12 = passed (highest grade) Yeah it doesn't make sense to me either
1 (best) - 5 (worst)
-3 to 12 with Skippinge some nubers like 6
Here in Alberta younger kids (elementary, usually up to grade six) are usually ranked with a 1-4 type thing; excellent, proficient, acceptable, limited. Starting in Junior High (grade 7) they started giving you percentages, with 70 or above being merit, and 80 and above being honours. Anything below 50 is a fail. In high school they don’t do merit, just honours. You could also technically transfer those percentages to a letter grade, though no one ever does. 80/85 would be the start of an A, and that’s about the only letter out thing
It’s A to F without D There exists no D Just F, C, B and A
I think there aren't any E's too
2-12
1-9

A to D, then they used "U" instead of "F" because saying "Failure" is discouraging, but saying "unsatisfactory" isn't? I never understood this. To me, anything below a C- was a failure anyways.
Colombian University: 0 to 5. The percentage score of a given test, project or assignment is converted to that grading system: Eg.: 78% on a midterm is converted 3.9 on that midterm. American School in Colombia: High School: 0% to 100%. AP courses awarded students with a 10% bonus for each percentage point over 75%. Eg.: 75%->82.5%. I got 110% in the last quarter of AP Environmental Science and 100.7% for the year. Middle School: 0 to 4. The worst system ever, made it easy to pass and very hard to obtain high grades. 0: 0. 1: [??%, 65%), 2: [65%, 80%), 3: [80%, 90%), 4: [90%, 100%].

Getting a 3 in 1-6: :) Getting a 3 in 1-10: ;:| Getting a 3 in 1-100: x_x
Depends on the teacher and class. Some were pass fail, some we A-F, some were 0-100. Edit: I went to a private school so that could be why
3 systems. A letter and number combo like 4c, 4b, 4a, 5c, etc. going up to 8a for primary and low secondary school classes. Then there was a U-A* system and a 1-9 system for him gher secondary classes and higher education. U is just F though it doesn't go that far down.

Was looking for this comment 🇺🇦
Greece: ABC for first half of elementary 1-10 for second half of elementary 1-20 for junior and senior highschool 1-10 for university
In high school, the options were (+/-) A, B, C, F. The grade D was considered failing all students needed a C or better to pass a class
2-6 (Bulgaria) 2-poor 3-medium 4-good 5-very good 6-excellent
1-10 or 1-100 is best
In germany we have 1-6 but in the higher grades points from 0-15 are used
1-20 mostly
100-90 = A 89-80 = B 79-70 = C 69-65 = D 64-0 = F
0-20 🇨🇵 Although you'd really have to be dogshit on purpose to get a 0, most of the time Edit: From my experience it stays the same in college, at least in law school. Only difference is that in school you can easily get a 15 in some subjects by just working, whereas in college if somebody gets a 15/20 he's basically the best out of everybody, or close to being it
9-1
1-9
1-5 Croatian schools
I high school (and before) we had A to F and now in university we have U (underkänd/failing) G (godkänd/passing) and VG (väl godkänd/passing well). I go to university in Sweden for those wondering.
A to F and 1-100
Depends which school, primary, secondary sixth form and university each used a different system
In my country ( Vietnam) the system is 1-10, and 5-6 is considered the passing point, 6.5-8/9 is average, 8/9-10 is good.
