How it is calculated
Percent = mark ÷ max × 100 Out of 20 = percent ÷ 5| Percent | Common Arab band |
|---|---|
| 85%+ | Excellent |
| 75–84% | Very good |
| 65–74% | Good |
| 50–64% | Pass |
| Below 50% | Weak |
Grade bands differ slightly between countries and universities, so treat this as approximate.
Worked example
15.5 out of 20 = 77.5%: “Bien” in the Moroccan bac (above 14/20), “very good” on the common Arab scale, and C+ on the US scale.
