Correspondence of Portuguese and European Grading Scales
In accordance with Article 19 of Decree-Law 42/2005 published on 22/02/2005 in the Official Journal of the Portuguese Republic under Section II (European grading scale), the correspondence between the European grading scale and the Portuguese grading scale is composed of 5 segments (classes), identified by the letters A to E.
In the 10-20 interval of the entire 0-20 numerical scale in use in Portugal, the European grading scale adopts the following correspondence:
A: grade 20 – p, where p is the classification that incorporates, in this segment, 10% of the students;
B: grade p-1 to q where q is the classification that incorporates, in this segment combined with the previous segment, 35% of the students;
C: grade q-1 to r where r is the classification that incorporates, in this segment combined with the two previous segments, 65% of the students;
D: grade r-1 to s where s is the classification that incorporates, in this segment combined with the previous segments, 90% of the students;
E: s-1to 10.
In applying the correspondence between the European grading scale and the Portuguese grading scale, as per the above-mentioned legal instrument, the distribution of classifications are calculated for a period of at least three years and for a sample of at least 100 students.
