Academic grading in Lithuania
- Academic grading in Lithuania
In Lithuania, the grading system has been changed to a 10-point scale since 1995Fact|date=November 2007. 10 is the highest achievable grade for an excellent performance and 1 is the lowest. Usually, 1 is written when where is no work present at all (called "kuolas" in the academic jargon,, which means 'a stick'), as most teachers tend to keep 2 the lowest grade and rarely mark work as 1. Some teachers do not put 1 nor 2, even if there is no work present.
The minimal grade for passing is usually 4.
Teachers in lower classes are encouraged to write marks such as lg - labai gerai (very good), g - gerai (good), patenkinamai (sufficient to pass) or nepatenkimai (insufficient to pass).
Some subjects (like Physical Culture or Music) can be chosen to only have įsk - įskaityta (passed) or neįsk - neįskaityta (not passed).
The same system is used for evaluating students' work in universities. The minimal grade to pass is usually 5, however.
