Venezuela
Grades in Venezuela may vary according to the education level, but normally the grading system is numerical, and ranges from 00 to 20, 00 being the lowest and 20 being the highest, and 10 being the pass mark, equivalent to a "D" in the United States. This is not required, however, and several schools in Venezuela deviate from this grading system, and follow a system similar, if not identical to, the United States, in which letters are used as grades.
Shown here is the Venezuelan grading system in probable comparison with the United States grading system:
| Venezuelan grade | American letter grade | American percentage (%) |
|---|---|---|
| 20-17 | A (excellent, highest mark) | 90-100% |
| 16-14 | B (good, second to highest mark) | 80-89% |
| 13-12 | C (average) | 70-79% |
| 11-10 | D (lowest passable mark) | 60-69% |
| 09-00 | F (failure) | 0-59% |
