Academic grading in the Czech Republic

Academic grading in the Czech Republic

In the Czech Republic, primary and secondary schools use a 5-point grade system, with 1 as the best and 5 as the worst. There are only whole numbers in the report cards, but tests or oral exams are often marked by additional distinctive signs: 3+ is "slightly better than 3", 2− is "slightly worse than 2", 1-2 or 1/2 means "halfway between 1 and 2", and 1* means "exceptionally excellent".

Universities use a 4-point grade system, in which 1 is the highest and 4 indicates failing, or an expanded version of this: a six-grade system with half-grades between 1 & 2 and 2 & 3. The grades are then 1 (crudely similar to the American grading system, A), 1 (B), 2 (C), 3 (D), 4 (E), and 5 (F).Some universities use alternative names: 1 = A = výborně (excellent),2 = B = velmi dobře (very good),3 = C = dobře (good),4 = D = dostatečně (sufficient),5 = F = nedostatečně (insufficient).
