In Denmark, the educational system has historically used a number of different systems of grading student performances, several of which are described below. The current grading system is the 7-trins-skala (7-step-scale) which replaced the 13-skala in 2006. Current scaleStarting with the academic year 2005-06, a new scale was introduced, 7-trins-skalaen ("7-step-scale"; colloquially dubbed the 12-scale), designed to be compatible with the ECTS-scale:
The leading 0 in 00 and 02 is used to prevent fraud with grades. Furthermore, Undervisningsministeriet (the Ministry of Education) will adapt to a more international way of grading, by handing out a set number of grades per class. This is because in other countries, the grade A (12) is given twice as often as it is in Denmark (because of strict grading on absolute standards). Previous scales1788: Latin scaleThe Latin scale had five steps:
0 was an outright failing grade - there was a limitation of the number of non contemendus there could be in a passing student's examination. The highest grade, laudabilis præ ceteris was explicitly named a grade for exceptional purposes only. 1805: Ørsted scaleThe first version of the Ørsted scale had six steps:
A student could not pass an exam if he/she had got mdl in Danish essay or Latin or slet in Latin essay. In 1845 the numeral values were added in order to enable the calculation of an average grade - also the g was named the minimum passing grade. 1871: Extended Ørsted scaleIn 1871 the Ørsted scale was extended with plus and minus-steps, and numeral values were added accordingly.
The g was still the minimum passing grade. 1903: Numeral scaleIn 1903 the Ørsted-scale was scrapped for a numeral one, with five steps:
8 and 0 were – like laudabilis præ ceteris – exceptional grades. You would fail if you had two or more zeroes in your exam. 1911: New numeral scaleIn 1911 another numeral scale was introduced:
4 was the minimum passing grade. 1919: Extended Ørsted scaleIn 1919 the extended Ørsted scale returned, with numerals. 1943: Modified extended Ørsted scaleThis version, introduced in 1943, changed the numerals (essentially by adding 7 to the former numbers) and removed the mdl−- and slet+-grades:
1963: 13-scaleThe 13-scale was introduced in 1963 and used until 2006 (2007 in universities). The scale started out as a relative scale but has since its introduction in 1963 changed to an absolute scale at all levels of education.
The gaps between 00 & 03, 03 & 5 and 11 & 13 are there to signify a larger difference between those grades. The leading 0 in 00 and 03 is used to prevent fraud with grades. The lowest passing grade is 6 and 00, 03 and 5 are failing grades. The highest grade 13 and the lowest grade 00 are the grades most rarely given. 00 is nearly impossible to achieve, presuming one knows even a single fact taught in that particular class. It is given for a truly incompetent performance. At exams, 00 is given to students attending, but who cannot answer a single question. Absentees get a "-" and aren't allowed to attend a second exam. 13 is a fairly rare grade outside of exams and requires a performance way beyond the expected. One of the reasons why the 13 scale was replaced with the 7 scale was because of the grade 13. 13s are only given to the students that have gone above and beyond the stated curriculum. To gain it you needed to know more than what was taught in class. It required truly independent study. As no other EU countries used grades above perfect understanding of the curriculum, 13 was untranslatable to other grading systems. In the table below, the Danish grading scale is compared with the ECTS and the U.S. academic grading scales (4.0/4.3/4.5) by World Education Services.
The average of grades given in Danish secondary schools in 2003 was 8.22. This scale was replaced by the 7-step-scale in 2005; see above.
