Academic grading in Serbia

In Serbia a five-point grading scale is used in elementary schools and secondary schools:

• 5 (excellent)
• 4 (very good)
• 3 (good)
• 2 (sufficient) is the lowest passing grade
• 1 (insufficient) is the lowest possible grade, and the failing one.

At universities, a six-point grading scale is used, where:

• 10 (excellent - outstanding), 91-100%
• 9 (excellent), 81-90%
• 8 (very good), 71-80%
• 7 (good), 61-70%
• 6 (sufficient) is the lowest passing grade, 51-60%
• 5 is failing grade, 0-50%.

But, when calculating average grade, two decimals show up (e.g. 9.54).
