Academic grading in Greece

Academic grading in Greece

There are four Grading systems (or scales) in Greece - four different GPA - one for higher education, one for secondary education, and two for primary education (grades 1 to 3 and 4 to 6).

In higher or tertiary education, grades are given from 0.00 to 10.00. The minimum passing grade is 05.00. The list below depicts the Greek Grading system while illustrates approximately how the Grades are converted in ECTS and US Grades:

*08.50-10.00: "άριστα" (excellent) - ECTS A - US A,A+
*06.50-08.49: "λίαν καλώς" (very good) - ECTS B - US B,B+,A-
*05.00-06.49: "καλώς" (good) - ECTS C - US C,C+,B-

The grading system's range is widened in secondary school, and ranges from 1 to 20. Each grade from every individual subject from a total of 13 is worth one point:

*18 6/13-20: excellent
*15-18 5/13: very good
*12 6/13-14 12/13: good
*10-12 5/13: fair
*1-9 12/13: fail

The primary education grading system for grades 1 to 3 is as follows, in which letters are used:

*A -excellent
*B -very good
*Γ -good
*Δ, Ε -fail

The primary education grading system changes after grade 4, in which only numbers are used:

*9-10: excellent
*7-8: very good
*5-6: good
*1-4: fail
