10. The Danish Grading Scale
From  August 2007 the examination assessments in Denmark will be based on the new 7-point scale:
Some courses may only be assessed as Passed/Not passed, with no further grading. Examinations, projects, tests etc are considered passed if the student earns a "Pass" or a mark of at least 02.
Elaboration on the new 7-point scale: 12 is given for an excellent presentation that demonstrates a high level of command of all aspects of the relevant material and containing no or only few minor weaknesses is given for a very good presentation that demonstrates a high level of command of most aspects of the relevant material and containing only minor weaknesses. 7 is given for a good presentation that demonstrates good command of the relevant material but containing some weaknesses. 4 is given for a fair presentation that demonstrates some command of the relevant material but containing some major weaknesses is given for a presentation meeting only the minimum requirements for acceptance is given for a presentation not meeting the minimum requirements for acceptance is given for a presentation that is unacceptable in all respects.
