Converting Percentages to Czech Grades: Table for Tests

How percentage scores from tests convert to Czech school grades.

Percentage scores are often used when grading tests and exams. Various tables exist for converting to school grades. Here is the standard conversion table used at most Czech schools.

Percentage to Grade Conversion Table

90–100% Excellent (1)
75–89% Very Good (2)
60–74% Good (3)
50–59% Sufficient (4)
0–49% Insufficient (5)

Important Notice

Each school or teacher may use a slightly different conversion table. Always follow your school's or teacher's guidelines. Some schools may have stricter or more lenient criteria for individual grades.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this table mandatory for all schools?
No, this table is only a guideline. Each school or teacher can set their own criteria for converting percentages to grades. We recommend always checking the rules with your teacher.
How is the Czech state exam (maturita) graded?
The state maturita exam uses a different scale: 0–32% = Insufficient (5), 33–49% = Sufficient (4), 50–66% = Good (3), 67–83% = Very Good (2), 84–100% = Excellent (1).
What if I have 89.5%? Is it rounded?
It depends on the school's rules. Most teachers round up from 0.5%, but this is not a universal rule. Some teachers don't round at all.
Does the same table apply to elementary and high schools?
The basic principle is similar, but high schools (especially gymnasiums) may have stricter criteria. Universities often use a completely different grading system.
