How to read the NEB scale

Each band starts at its figure and runs up to, but not including, the next one. So 80 is an A, and 79.99 is a B+. Below 35 is NG, not graded, with no grade point. Theory and internal marks each get their own grade.

Made-up example: 74.5% is a B+, worth 3.2. 35% is a D, worth 1.6, and 34% is NG.

The NEB Grade Calculator turns your marks into these grades and checks the certificate minimum.
