Katja Schoone (asker) Feb 13, 2008:
@ mary austria thx. Possibly I try you again very soon with the same one, cause I'm not through yet ;-)
mary austria Feb 13, 2008:
@ Katja - No problem, don't worry about it. Zeugnisse are no problem once you get used to them. Try me again the next time you get stuck on one.
Katja Schoone (asker) Feb 13, 2008:
@ mary austria Thank you and sorry, I thought this would be clear that the "Prüfungszeugnis" not only consists of the "Notenskala" itself, but also of grades for individual achievements/examinations.
mary austria Feb 13, 2008:
Use "grades " for Notenskala and "Grades for individual examinations" for Einzelnoten and next time please tell us the whole story up front. Thanks.
Katja Schoone (asker) Feb 13, 2008:
grades Ich tue mich etwas schwer mit grades, da ich es eher für den US-Terminus halte, wenn es allerdings bei Brigitte auf dem Cambridge Certificate steht wird es wohl stimmen. Das ist erst noch eine Idee, ich habe da auch noch so ein paar alte Certificates "rumfahren", Cambridge war auch dabei. Grades alleine kann ich nicht nehmen, da ich das schon für die "Einzelnoten" weiter oben brauche.
BrigitteHilgner Feb 13, 2008:
Auf meinem alten Cambridge Certificate steht:
The pass standard is indicated thus:
Grade A (very good), Grade B (good), Grade C (pass)
Vielleicht hilft das ja.
Katja Schoone (asker) Feb 13, 2008:
It is for GB! I just need the translation of the word "Notenskala". I have a list of the equivalents according to hte European Course Credit Transfer System, so it is just the term.

Grading system

Just another option
Example sentence:

The UW uses a numerical grading system, with certain exceptions in the schools of Dentistry, Law, and Medicine. Instructors may report grades from 4.0 to ...

The first decision a teacher must make about grading is what kind of grading system to use.

Marking scheme

The University of Edinburgh refers to the marking scheme when matching grades to marks/description of performance.
Example sentence:

From academic sessions 1996-1997 to 2005/2006, the marking scheme for undergraduate degree examinations in all Schools was as follows
