Academic grading in Belarus
In Belarus, a ten-point grading scale is used since 2002. It is used in primary, secondary and higher education.[1]
| Level[2] | Grade | Label | US equivalent[3] |
|---|---|---|---|
| High | 10 | Brilliant | A+ |
| 9 | Excellent | A | |
| Good | 8 | Almost excellent | A- |
| 7 | Very good | B+ | |
| Average | 6 | Good | B |
| 5 | Almost good | B- | |
| Satisfactory | 4 | Satisfactory | C+ |
| 3 | C | ||
| Low | 2 | Unsatisfactory | F |
| 1 | F | ||
| Poor | 0 | Terrible | F- |
Marks "1" and "2" are considered as "fail" at school. In higher education "3" is also considered as "fail". Mark "0" is comparing to "F-" in the USA for refusing to do some work or an exam.
Besides grades, a "pass" / "no pass" mark may be used for some subjects. E.g. it's an "art" subject in secondary school.[4]
