Table of averages for individual grades and rules for failing. Find out what average means which grade.

Wondering at what average you get a 5 (fail) or what average is enough for a 2? Here's a clear table of boundaries for individual grades and rules for failing.

At What Average Do You Get Which Grade?

Standard average boundaries for individual grades are:

up to 1.50 excellent (1)

1.51 - 2.50 commendable (2)

2.51 - 3.50 good (3)

3.51 - 4.50 sufficient (4)

above 4.50 insufficient (5)

Note: These boundaries are approximate. Each school and teacher may have slightly different rounding boundaries.

Rules for Failing

A student fails a subject if they have grade 5 (insufficient) on the report card. If a student has a maximum of two 5s in compulsory subjects, they have the right to a remedial exam (reparát). With three or more 5s, the student fails and usually repeats the grade.

How to Prevent Failing

If you're at risk of getting a 5, talk to the teacher as soon as possible. Most teachers are willing to offer makeup tests or assignments if they see the student is trying.
