Although the traditional scale stops at 20/20, French baccalauréat results can be higher than 20/20 due to supplementary "options". [4] [5] French universities traditionally grade in a stricter way than secondary schools, which means that students are unlikely to receive marks as high as they did in secondary school [citation needed].
In Flanders each university has a different grading system, though most grade on a scale of 20 with 10/20 being the passing grade. At UGent the following grading system applies to higher education: [2] niet geslaagd (Failure): if the student gets a score lower than 10/20 for one or more courses.
The steepest grade for bus operations is 23.1% by the 67-Bernal Heights on Alabama Street between Ripley and Esmeralda Streets. [12] Likewise, the Pittsburgh Department of Engineering and Construction recorded a grade of 37% (20°) for Canton Avenue. [13] The street has formed part of a bicycle race since 1983. [14]
In high-schools and universities, a 20-point grading scale is used. When it is the case of the final grade of an academic degree, each grade is assigned a qualitative mark by degree (depending on the university, the students have at most a final grade of 16 or 17, being almost impossible for students to have a final score between 18-20): [1]
Letter grade equivalents are more commonly used by American institutions. World Education Services (WES), [ 74 ] a nonprofit organisation which provides qualification conversion services to many universities and employers, gives 1st = A, 2:1 = A−/B+, 2:2 = B, 3rd = B−, Pass = C.
In francophone schools or CBE Schools from kindergarten to Grade 9, an alternative grading system is used instead of percentages and letter grades: numbers 1 through 4 are used (4 is excellent, 3 is good, 2 is average, and 1 is below average. Note: not all schools utilize a +/− system when giving grades. Some just give the generic grade.
The resulting value is rounded to the next German grade (e.g. 1.6 is rounded to the German grade 1.7 and 2.4 is rounded to 2.3). For resulting values between two German grades, the score is rounded to the better grade (e.g. 2.5 is rounded to the German grade 2.3 and 1.15 is rounded to 1.0).
The multiple choice provides two-thirds of the grade and the free-response provides the remaining third. [3] Beginning with the May 2011 AP Exam administration, total scores on the multiple-choice section are based only on the number of questions answered correctly. [4] Points are no longer deducted for incorrect answers.
