In Israel, the main grading scale used is 0-100, which is employed in virtually all levels of Israeli education, from elementary school, through high school and undergraduate academic studies, to graduate university degrees.
The 100-point grading scale is as follows:
- 10 or 95-100 = מצוין (excellent)
- 9 or 85-94 = טוב מאוד (very good)
- 8 or 75-84 = טוב (good)
- 7 or 65-74 = כמעט טוב (almost good)
- 6 or 55-64 = מספיק (sufficient)
- 5 or 45-54 = מספיק בקושי (hardly sufficient)
- <4 or <44 = בלתי מספיק/נכשל (insufficient/failed)
In secondary school (grades 7-12), any grade below 55 is considered a failing grade. In the Bagrut examinations, any grade below 55 equals failure. In most universities and colleges, any grade below 60 is considered as failure.
In Israeli academic institutions, honors are bestowed upon graduates with 88 or better, with summa cum laude associated with a grade of 95 or higher.
It may be worth mentioning that the Israeli education system rarely employs curved grading at any stage (including at the academic level). To compensate for this, most academic institutions require that candidates undergo the Psychometric exam, which in Israel provides examinees with an overall score of 200-800, the average being 535.[1]
Law school grading
Although the vast majority of Israeli academic institutions refrain from grading on a curve, the situation is different with law schools; only certain law faculties do not use curved grading. In most Israeli universities' and colleges' law faculties, the average grade is "normalized" to around 79 (i.e., 79/100 or C+ on a lettered GPA scale).
