Academic grading in Luxembourg


In Luxembourg, a grade system from 01 to 60 is used in secondary schools. A grade of at least 30 is required to pass. An insufficient mark is called a Datz in Luxembourgish. The grades are distributed in the following way:
Grade NumberDescription
50-60Very Good
40-49Good
30-39Satisfactory/Sufficient
20-29Insufficient
10-19Poor
01-09Very Poor

But in the secondary schools who are technique otherwise called général is much more different. It introduces intermediate grades whether the teachers will decide if the student will pass to the level is the next one or the past one. Unlike the normal grading system, the grading system of the secondary school général has 5 so-called levels. The notes are :
Grade
Number
Description
50-60Excellent
46-49Excellent or strong
40-45Strong
39-36Strong or sufficient
30-35Satisfactory/Sufficient
29-26Sufficient or insufficient
20-25Insufficient
01-19Very insufficient

Grading at the University of Luxembourg instead operates with a French-style 20-point scale, with a minimum score of 10/20 required to pass.
