Academic grading in Iran
The Iranian grading system is similar to that of France's and other French-patterned grading systems such as Belgium, Lebanon, Venezuela, and Peru in secondary schools and universities. Since a grading guideline is not provided by the Iranian Ministry of Education, conversion to the international scales is carried out using conversion guideline provided for French-patterned grading systems. In specific cases, grades are converted according to the destination institutes' grading policy. The passing grade is 10 and usually a grade of more than 14 out of 20 is considered excellent. The following table is most commonly used by world institutes and universities to convert from the Iranian grading system:[1]
| Grade | U.S. Grade Equivalent | Honors terminology |
|---|---|---|
| 14 - 20 | A | "First-Class Honors": 1st |
| 12 - 13.99 | B+ | "Upper Second-Class Honors": 2:1 |
| 11 - 11.99 | B | "Lower Second-Class Honors": 2:2 |
| 10.5 - 10.99 | B- | "Lower Second-Class Honors": 2:2 |
| 10.1 - 10.49 | C+ | "Lower Second-Class Honors": 2:2 |
| 10 | C | "Third-Class Honors": 3rd |
