In Lithuania, the grading system has been changed to a 10-point scale since 1995[citation needed]. 10 is the highest achievable grade for an excellent performance and 1 is the lowest. Usually, 1 is written when where is no work present at all (called kuolas in the academic jargon, which means 'a stick'), as most teachers tend to keep 2 the lowest grade and rarely mark work as 1.

The minimal grade for passing a subject in school is usually 4.

Teachers in lower classes are encouraged to write marks such as lg - labai gerai (very good), g - gerai (good), patenkinamai (sufficient to pass) or nepatenkinamai (insufficient to pass).

Some subjects (like Physical Culture or Music) can be chosen to only have įsk - įskaityta (passed) or neįsk - neįskaityta (not passed).

The same system is used for evaluating students' work in universities. The minimal grade to pass is usually 5, however.
