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 | Russian equivalent[1] | US equivalent[3] |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| High | 10 | Brilliant | 5+ | A+ |
| 9 | Excellent | 5 | A | |
| Good | 8 | Almost excellent | 4+ | A- |
| 7 | Very good | 4 | B+ | |
| Average | 6 | Good | 4- | B |
| 5 | Almost good | 3+ | B- | |
| Satisfactory | 4 | Satisfactory | 3 | C+ |
| 3 | 3- | C | ||
| Low | 2 | Unsatisfactory | 2 | F |
| 1 | 2- | F | ||
| Poor | 0 | Terrible | 2-- | F- |
Marks "1" and "2" are considered as "Fail" at school. In higher education "3" is also considered as "Fail". Just like in Ukraine, mark "0" in Belarus can be used (but very rarely). Mark "0" is comparing to "2--" (in Russia) or "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]
