Grading systems of the institutions Dutch grading scale The Dutch grading scale, implemented from primary school through university level, goes from 1 (ver/ poor) to 10 (excellent). AtTU Delft final marks are rounded off to whole and half figures, A 6.0 is a pass. Although the scale runs from 1.0 to 10.0, the marks 9.0 and 9.5 are not frequently awarded and 10s are extremely rare. The meaning of the marks is as follows: Mark Definition 9.5-10.0 Excellent 8.5-9.0 Very good 7.5-8.0 Good 6.5-7.0 More than satisfactor/ 6.0 Satisfactory 4.5-5.5 Nearly satisfactory 3,5-4.0 Unsatisfactory 1.0-3.0 Very poor Sometimes a 'V' is awarded instead of a mark to indicate that the requirements for a particular subject have been fulfilled. VR' Instead of a mark indicates that a student has been exempted from an examination or practical exercise on the grounds of a previous examination, degree audit or practical exercise completed within the higher education system that corresponds with the subject for which exemption Is sought, as regards content and study load, or on the grounds of knowledge and/or skills acquired outside the higher education system, Grading systems and 'grading culture' vary from country to country. In the Netherlands a 1-10 grading scale is commonly used. The Dutch grading culture is rather conservative: a 10 or even a 9, is not often awarded. AtTU Delft even higher standards are the norm.the average grading results of TU Delft BSc and MSc students are available at: tudelft.nl/qradinq-scale E VIGOOl 4
Marks are given following a 0-10 scale as follows: Matricula de honor (10) A + EXCELENTE- oustanding performance with only minor errors: Just in very excepcional cases Sobresaliente (9 - A VERY GOOD -above the average standard but with some errors 9.9) Notable (7-8.9) B GOOD -generally sound work with a number of notable errors Aprobado (5-6.9) C/D SATISFACTORY/ SUFFICIENT- performance meets the minimum Suspense (less than five) 2.
