Defining the format and meaning of grades

A grading table defines the format and meaning of the grades that students receive on their report cards. The main purpose of a grading table is to list all of the possible grades a student can receive and the meaning of each grade. Grading tables can also identify conversions from one format to another—such as percentages to letters—whether a grade is a pass or a fail and, for secondary schools, the grade points available for numeric, letter, or graphic symbol grades earned in courses of various difficulty levels.

Grading tables appear as a legend on report cards to help readers interpret the grades. Since a report card often includes items with different grading tables, report cards often display multiple grading table legends.
