Grading

Here in Sweden we have the same grades as in the U.S. We have six different steps: A, B, C, D, E and F and the A is the best and the F means that you have failed. It is a little bit hard to get an A in the beginning of a course. This kind of grading has just been introduced to the Swedish school and from the beginning it was MVG, VG and G but the state didn’t think that grading was fair enough and besides it easier to have the same grading as the rest of the world.

Since this grading is very new it is a bit hard to understand even for the teachers but we are working on it. In math the final grade depends a lot on a single big test in the end of the course while in the Social studies the final grade depends on whole course. Most of the pupils don’t like the new grading’s just because it is harder to get an A then a MVG and some teachers think it is inefficient. Well, let’s see what the future says about it!
