Grades and study results
How do educational institutions assess study results in Algeria? And what documents do students receive when they have completed a study programme?
Secondary education study results
Secondary education institutions use a grading system with a scale from 0 to 20.00. A mark of 10.00 or higher is a pass. Marks rarely exceed 18.00. The weight of a subject is mentioned on the final examination list.
| Mark | Description | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| 18.00-20.00 | Excellent | Excellent |
| 16:00-17.99 | Très bien | Very good |
| 14.00-15.99 | Bien | Good |
| 12.00-13.99 | Assez bien | Quite satisfactory |
| 10.00-11.99 | Passable | Satisfactory |
| 0-9.99 | Insuffisant/Ajourné | Insufficient (fail) |
