In Iceland a grade point average (GPA) is given as a weighed average of all grades in a marked period. Grades range from 0-10 and the GPA is rounded off to two decimal points.[1]
Term- and course grades are given on the scale of 0-10 with increments of 0.5.
For added convenience, grades are categorized as follows:
| GPA | Name | Literal meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 10 - 9.0 | Ágætiseinkunn | First Grade with distinction |
| 8.99 - 7.25 | Fyrsta einkunn | First Grade |
| 7.24 - 6.0 | Önnur einkunn | Second Grade |
| 5.99 - 5.0 | Þriðja einkunn | Third Grade |
