A very poor performance is usually awarded a 3 or 4, while a 1 is often reserved for cases of academic dishonesty or some other unacceptable behavior. Grades with 2 decimal digits can also be awarded, e.g. 7.38 means "'very' satisfactory", although in the register (catalog, where grades are written) the grade will be rounded. Grades with 2 ...
Some high schools, to reflect the varying skill required for different course levels, will give higher numerical grades for difficult courses, often referred to as a weighted GPA. For example, two common conversion systems used in honors and Advanced Placement courses are: A = 5 or 4.5; B = 4 or 3.5 [5] C = 3 or 2.5; D = 2 or 1.5; F = 0 [19]
2: E: The English 2 is equivalent to a low E to an F in the old grading system. F: 1: G: Equivalent to a G in the old grading system. U: U: Equivalent to a U in the old grading system. This is awarded to those who failed the subject. X: X: This is awarded to those who were entered for a subject, but did not sit the examination(s).
Grading in education is the application of standardized measurements to evaluate different levels of student achievement in a course. Grades can be expressed as letters (usually A to F), as a range (for example, 1 to 6), percentages, or as numbers out of a possible total (often out of 100).
Different universities convert grades differently: the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) considers a GPA of 3.5 or better as equivalent to gaining a 2:1, [71] while the department of English Language and Literature at Oxford considers a GPA of "about 3.8" equivalent to a first class degree. [72]
Often a more granular scale of "1−" (equal to 1.25), "1-2" (= 1.5), "2+" (= 1.75), etc. is used; sometimes even decimal grading (1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and so on) is applied. In end-of-year report cards, only unmodified integer grades may be used; in some regions they are written in text form.
The degree of differentiation shown in marks varies greatly from country to country and in many cases within a single country or institution. Expression in terms of ECTS grades is simple where the local marks are highly differentiated (i.e., the local grading scale has as much or more possible values than the ECTS scale).
F: Failure (0-59%, bu-ji-ge, "不及格 / Bù jí gé / [pú tɕǐ kɤ̌]") [1] (some colleges may group the last two grades D and F into one grade called "Bottom", 0-64%, "下") Besides the grading system and the 100 percentage based marks, there is another form of assessment based on which one course is marked simply as "Qualified/Failed ...
