The most common formula used in Bulgarian schools is currently Grade=(6* number of correct answers)/ total number of questions. That way if a student has answered 7 out of 10 questions correctly, their mark should be: (6*7)/10=4.20, which is graded as Good 4 or average performance.
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).
The overall grade for the class is then typically weighted so that the final grade represents a stated proportion of different types of work. For example, daily homework may be counted as 50% of the final grade, chapter quizzes may count for 20%, the comprehensive final exam may count for 20%, [1] and a major project may count for the remaining ...
Primary school teaching in Iceland consists of 10 grade levels. These are: 1st grade: 6–7 years; 2nd grade: 7–8 years; 3rd grade: 8–9 years; 4th grade: 9–10 years; 5th grade: 10–11 years; 6th grade: 11–12 years; 7th grade: 12–13 years; 8th grade: 13–14 years; 9th grade: 14–15 years; 10th grade: 15–16 years
5–6.9 out of 10: "Aprobado" ("pass"). 0–4.9 out of 10 : "Suspenso" ("failed"). Furthermore, when a student has passed a subject according to this 10-point scale, her or his grade is converted to the following 0 to 4-point scale and recorded in her/his transcript of records :
In the Netherlands, most institutions grade exams, papers and thesis on a scale from 1 (very poor) to 10 (outstanding).The scale is generally further subdivided with intervals of one decimal place, although the use of halves (e.g., 7.5) and quarters (e.g., 7+ or 7−, rounded to 0.8 or 0.3) is also common.
Given that the scale of grading ranges from 0 to 100, it is common that the grade indicates the percentage of correct answers in a given exam. Grades are most often absolute and not class-specific. Thus, it may be that the top student of the class gets a low grade of 70, while the passing threshold is still 60.
A significant grade inflation has been observed in primary education and, to a lesser degree, in secondary education. In the 2008/09 school year, almost 168,000 out of 365,000 elementary school students were graded "excellent" by their grade point average. Parent pressure on teachers has been identified as a major cause. [1]
