Academic grading in Latvia

Academic grading in Latvia

The grading system in Latvia has recently been changed to a 10-point scaleFact|date=November 2007. 10 (desmit) is the highest achievable grade, while 1 (viens) is awarded for extremely poor performance. The minimal passing grade is 4 (četri), though some universities have a minimum passing grade of 5(pieci).

The absence of any kind of performance is indicated with 'nv' (nav vērtējuma - no grade); in the past, the mark for absence of work was 0 (nulle). Teachers in lower classes and for small works in higher classes are encouraged to award one of two grades: 'i' (ieskaitīts - counted in) for a passing grade, and 'ni' (neieskaitīts - not counted in) for a failing grade.
