Spanish grade system

---

The Spanish university grade system consists of marks between 0 and 10, generally registered in six grades, according to the following criteria:

Full Marks (A+)

It is the highest grade and only given to exceptional students. It implies the gratuity of a subject for the following year.

Even though the official connection is of one Full Marks for every 20 students, the UAM is different. In the best of cases, and depending on the area, the connection is around a 2% (data from the UAM Calculus Center). It is not unusual to find years where that grade is not given.

Outstanding (A)

9. This mark is given to very good students, who have fully answered to the course demands.

Good (B)

7 to 8 .This mark is given to good students who have answered with a good level to the course demands.

Pass (C)

5 to 6. This grade indicates that the student has responded well enough to the course demands.

Fail

0 to 4. This mark implies that the student has not passed the course demands and must do it again.

N.P., not sit

The student who has or has not regularly gone to class, but has not sit the exam or has not done the evaluation test established by the professor has not passed the course, and therefore does not obtain the corresponding credits.
