00 – 03 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11 – 13

You may notice there are 10 possible marks, it just looks a little odd for two reasons: Firstly, some spaces have been inserted between the three lowest marks and the two highest, which means these grades have a higher impact on your average; this is important because your average determines what you can major in at university. Secondly, the 0′s in front of 0 and 3 are there to prevent students from adding a 1 in front of those marks XD

13 is sort of outside the scale though. Think of 11 as 9 out of 9 and 13 is then 10 out of 9. Out of 100 students, one of them may get 13. This grade is actually the reason we’re switching to a 12-scale next semester, because the foreign universities don’t understand that we have such a special-case grade, so they just look at your sheet full of 10′s and 11′s and ask “But why don’t you have any top grades?”

The 12-scale will generally be a lot easier to translate to the common European scale, and it goes like this:

-3 – 00 – 02 – 4 – 7 – 10 – 12

The marks are distributed like that in order to maintain the same level of grade averages. When converted, my 10.0 average from high school will become 10.2, so the difference isn’t that great. Ironically, if I had had more 13′s in high school (I only got one, in written English) my average would’ve dropped, but all my 11′s which are becoming 12′s are dragging it up

How does your grading system work btw? Over here grades range from 1-10 where 10 is best and 1 is worst.

But EER, really, you can just wait until July 13 when it’s graded, I don’t really count on getting less than 10 for it (if I do, I will be extremely disappointed), and then I’ll translate it and it’ll be WAY easier to understand.

It will take some time to read it all (the size and the Danish), but the topic alone makes it cool

For the people who do not use the “Standard pages” measurement: grand total is 42 pages A4 including all appendices.
