Academic grading in Switzerland

In Switzerland, the 6-point grading scale is usually applied, where 1 represents the lowest possible grade, and 6 represents the highest possible grade.

  • 6 (Excellent; best possible grade; exceptional performance, 95%)
  • 5.5 (Very good, 85–95%)
  • 5 (Good, 75–85%)
  • 4.5 (Satisfactory, 65–75%)
  • 4 (Sufficient, 55–65%)
  • 3.5 (Insufficient, 45–55%)
  • 3 (Poor, 35–45%)
  • 2.5 and under (Very poor, 35% and below)

Grade averages between 5.5 and 6 are very hard to get. An average of 6 is nearly impossible.
