Academic grading in Lithuania

In Lithuania, the grading system has been recently changed to a 10-point scale^{[citation needed]}. 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, 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, although some universities require 5.

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).
