These printable grading scale charts put a country's grading scale on one page, for a classroom wall, a notice board or a student's folder. Each chart shows the grades, the marks or percent for each grade, and the grade points where the scale has them. Every row comes from a cited source, such as the board that sets the exam, or Nuffic, the Dutch agency that compares grading systems. Each chart names its source at the bottom.

What each printable chart shows
- The grades in order, with the marks or percent range for each one.
- Grade points, where the scale gives them, such as the HEC 4.0 scale or the KCSE twelve-point scale.
- A short note on how to read it, taken from the rules, such as how a WASSCE aggregate works.
- The source, the day it was checked, and a link to the full scale page with its calculators.
Sharing the charts
The charts are free to reuse under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence (CC BY 4.0). You may print them, hand them out, put the PDF on a class page, translate them or change them, as long as you credit GradeCat with a link to gradecat.com and say what you changed. The line at the bottom of each chart already gives that credit, so keep it on printed copies. The grading rules come from the sources each chart names. Our terms say what the licence covers.
The grading scales dataset has the grades of these charts (Kenya's aside) and of more countries and universities, in one CSV or JSON file with the source of every row, under the same licence.

Questions about the grading scale charts
Are the charts free?
Yes. Print as many as you like. There is no sign-up.
Is my country missing?
A chart is added only once its scale is checked against a cited source. More countries come as GradeCat adds them. See all countries for what is live now.
My university uses a different scale. Which one is right?
Your university's own rules. The charts show the national scale, and some universities set their own marks for each grade. Each chart says so where its source does.
