Grades on the 7-point scale
The seven steps of the grading scale, achievement of objectives and the pass mark.
The Danish system has since 2006/2007 used the 7-point grading scale of grades from -3 to 12. This system was introduced to better correlate with international grading systems. In the international programme, the grading system of letters is used.
Passed/Not passed
In order to pass an exam in the Danish system, the student in question must achieve the grades 02, 4, 7, 10 or 12. This means that the student will not have passed an exam if 00 or -3 is achieved.
