Academic grading in Hungary
In Hungary, a 5-point grade system is used. There are only whole numbers in report cards, but for grading exams, there are also fractions. Some teachers use lines above or under the numbers to draw a clearer distinction: e.g., 4- is worse than a 4 but better than a 3, a 3', or a 3/4 ; sometimes they even use multiple lines. For unusually good performance, the grade 5* can be awarded, but
is less frequently used in secondary schools. 1 is the only failing grade. When grading a student's attitude or diligence, only the grades 2-5 are used.
