Basically, there are two different grading systems in Germany. The most frequently used one consists of a grading scale from one to six, where one is “very good” and six is “insufficient”. If a grade is lower than four, the exam is considered failed. It is used in schools from the 1st to the 10th grade as well as at vocational schools and universities or colleges. Intermediate steps can be represented here with decimal numbers.<\/p>\n

This consists of 0 to 15 points and is used because the point counting system is also used in the Abitur itself. This point system is also the basis for applying to universities, but the points can also be roughly converted into grades.<\/p>\n The table for this is:<\/strong> \u2022 12 \u2022 09 \u2022 06 \u2022 03 \u2022 00 Insufficient<\/p>\n Sources: Wikipedia\/studieren-in-deutschland.de<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Basically, there are two different grading systems in Germany.
