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 (01-29) is called a Datz in Luxembourgish. The grades are distributed in the following way:^[dubious – discuss]

Grade Number	Description
50-60	Very Good
40-49	Good
30-39	Satisfactory/Sufficient
20-29	Insufficient
10-19	Poor
01-09	Very Poor

But in the secondary schools who are technique otherwise called général is much more different. It introduces intermediate grades (26-29, 36-39 and 46-49 ) whether the teachers will decide if the student will pass to the level is the next one or the past one.[1] Unlike the normal grading system (shown above), the grading system of the secondary school général has 5 so-called levels. The notes are :

Grade Number	Description
50-60	Excellent
46-49	Excellent or strong
40-45	Strong
39-36	Strong or sufficient
30-35	Satisfactory/Sufficient
29-26	Sufficient or insufficient
20-25	Insufficient
01-19	Very 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.
