No citations under Indonesian section

[edit]

The Indonesian section of the list does not possess citations; furthermore, the main article to which it is linked does not cite any sources. An inspection of the table and an attempt to locate information concerning the grading system utilised within Indonesia from an official governmental or journalistic source may remain necessary.

Spanish qualifications are not accurated

[edit]

In Spain, grades are usually referred as a decimal number between 0 and 10. Grades below 5 are a "Suspenso" (fail), including 4,99. Grades between 5 and 6,99 are an "Aprobado" (pass). Grades between 7 and 8,49 or 8,99 (depending on the University) are a "Notable" (Mention) and grades of 8,5 or 9 (depending on the University) until 10 are an "Excelente" or "Sobresaliente" (Outstanding). It's the decission of the department or the teacher to give a limited number (limited by the rules of the University) of "Matricula de Honor" (Honors) among those who got an "Excelente" grade, but it's not mandatory. Maybe someone got a 10 but the department decides no one deserves the "Matricula de honor" grade, or maybe 3 people get a 9 and all three get a "Matricula de Honor".

Edit to Australia section is incorrect

[edit]

A recent edit replaced:

Some other Australian universities have a marking system based on the Honours system used at Oxford and Cambridge:

with:

Some other Australian universities have a marking system based on the Honours system used by British Universities:

stating in the edit summary that:

All british universities use the Class Honours system, reference to Oxford & Cambridge wholly irrelevant

I strongly disagree with the implication that all British universities use the same system as Oxford and Cambridge Universities. In England an ordinary degree refers to a lower grade than an honours degree for the same body of course work. In Scotland an ordinary degree refers to a course that is one year shorter than an honours degree, without implication of a lower grade. The statement wouldn't become correct if replaced with just English universities either. The highest grade awarded at Manchester University in England is a first class honours. There are higher grades available at Oxford and Cambridge, as is described in this article.

I thus suggest a revision of this edit, possibly just a reversion. I am not familiar with Australian university grading systems, so I am not reverting it myself.

On a minor point in this edit, Oxford University uses an uppercase U for a specified institution, but British universities should use a lowercase u for the general term. The editor also inherited a punctuation error. The sentence in question shouldn't end with a colon. It could possibly end with a semi-colon, but the next clause would need to start with a lowercase "in schools ...". I consider them two different sentences so in my opinion, the sentence in question should end with a full stop (a "period" to Americans).

Thoughts? Australian assistance?

Hungarian grading system

[edit]

Please correct the Hungarian grading system. The lowest passing percentage is 25, 30 or 40%, excluding the language subjects where it could be 60%. ĵ At most of the subjects the border of 3 grade is between 40 and 55%. Usually the nature subjects like physics or biology have a lower percenatge. On the final graduation exam the grading is the following (1-5): Mid level exam: 80–100% - jeles (5) 60–79% - jó (4) 40–59% - közepes (3) 25–39% - elégséges (2) 0–24% - elégtelen (1)

Advanced, high level exam: 60–100% - jeles (5) 47–59% - jó (4) 33–46% - közepes (3) 25–32% - elégséges (2) 0–24% - elégtelen (1) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.59.145.126 (talk) 08:12, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Common traits

[edit]

All the school systems de facto share the tendency to use a grading scale from 0 to 10, which represents the following judgements:

  • Excellent: from 8 to 10
  • Sufficient: 6 and 7
  • Insufficient: from 0 to 5.

Grading in Brazil

[edit]

The section is full of inconsistencies or localized content

  • no one i have spoken with (i work with people from all over brazil and the world) ever have been graded with the ABC scheme in Brazil, or know anyone who did
  • each university hold its own entrance evaluation (called s.'vestibular' p.'vestibulares') or it can use the results of the national evaluation (the ENEM vestibular).
  • students are graded from 0.0 (0) to 10.0 (100)
  • each school defines its own minimum average grade the student must reach by year-end, usually between 5.0 (50) and 7.0 (70).
  • If the student fails to reach the average, he might try an additional exam in order for him to reach that average.
    • some scholls allow students to take additional exams mid-year, so he can recover his grades earlier
    • there is no official names for these additional evaluations, and they might have different names between state, sometimes even between cities.
  • if even after the additional exam(s) he still doesn't reach the minimum average, he will have to re-do the whole school year
    • some states do not allow teachers to fail students, and they may continue for the next year even he doesn't reach the minimum average

Lead too Short

[edit]

I removed the lead too short tag, and added info the intro. This is a simple list and their is, I think, not much too say other than organization of the list, let me know if you think it needs more. Azurnwiki (talk) 23:56, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are two ways these "percentages" can be interpreted: as an absolute percentage of marks earned, or as a percentile of students ranked compared to one another. I have seen both used in the US. I suspect the British system is a ranking system, but this isn't clear in the article. I can update the US section, but I think this neads to be addressed in the lead.

"Apples and oranges" mess?

[edit]

I tried to see what the UK school marks look like, in comparison to the German, French and Romanian ones. I.e. if they go from 1 to 5, 1 to 10, 1 to 100, insufficient to very good, whatever. What I found looked like smth. totally different, impossible to understand at a quick look (overly technical, insider language, lack of simple graphs or tables). What the heck? Don't they have marks in UK schools, only class medals/prizes, and they vary in a million ways from one type/level of school to another? ArmindenArminden (talk) 12:32, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is a further problem. There are two ways these "percentages" can be interpreted: as an absolute percentage of marks earned, or as a percentile of students ranked compared to one another.
