Academic grading in Belarus

In Belarus, a ten-point grading scale is used since 2002. It is used in primary, secondary and higher education.[1]

Level[2] Grade Label US equivalent[3]
High 10 Brilliant A+
9 Excellent A
Good 8 Almost excellent A-
7 Very good B+
Average 6 Good B
5 Almost good B-
Satisfactory 4 Satisfactory C+
3 C
Low 2 Unsatisfactory F
1 F
Poor 0 Terrible F-

Marks "1" and "2" are considered as "fail" at school. In higher education "3" is also considered as "fail". Mark "0" is comparing to "F-" in the USA for refusing to do some work or an exam.

Besides grades, a "pass" / "no pass" mark may be used for some subjects. E.g. it's an "art" subject in secondary school.[4]
