THE DANISH EDUCATION SYSTEM








                    Grading scale












                    The current grading system in Denmark was implemented in 2006: the 7-point grading scale. In tests
                    and examinations students are given an assessment on the basis of the grading scale below. According
                    to the rules governing the individual study programmes, the grades must be documented by test,
                    examination or leaving certificates.
