How many grades are there in France schools?

While I don't really understand the question I will answer according to what I think is the question: How do schools grade in France ?"

They grade using a system of 20 points maximum. So for instance a 20 on a test is 100% and a 10 is 50%.

They never use the letter grade system. The passing feade is 50% or 10/20. Although it seems lower than the well accepted 65% in USA, it is much harder to get a high grade in France. For instance, 65% wuld be onsodered a pretty good grade. Tests are made in a way that it is not easy to even get 10/20 every time.

You pass the year if your average is 10 or above. The last year of high school, even if you pass for the year, it is special because you still have to pass in July or your senior year the BACCALAUREAT, which is sort of a big final in every main subect. If you fail your Baccalaureat, then no matter what you scores were during the year, you have to do another Senior year.

Hope this helps.

Happy and healthy 2009 to everyone !
