Academic grading in New Zealand
- Academic grading in New Zealand
Various methods of Academic grading in New Zealand is shown below.
High schools
In 2004, high school grades were changed from various percentage and rank-based scales for different year levels, to a four-grade system (the lowest being a failing grade):
Universities
New Zealand universities generally award letter grades (i.e. A to E) to students, with +/- variations. These letter grades correspond to percentage mark bands, though these vary between universities (common cutoffs for A+ include 90% and 85%, and even within a university, an A+ from one department may vary from a A+ from another, with the actual cutoff subject to discretion). D and E grades are failing grades, corresponding to work receiving less than 50%. However, for Honours degrees, the letter grades also correspond to degree classes, with A+/A/A- grades corresponding to a first, B+/high B corresponding to 2:1, etc.
