Armenia → Dutch grade conversion table
Armenian school records commonly use a 10-point scale for subject grades, with 5 as the minimum passing grade; state examinations may also be reported on a 20-point scale. The bands below use the common 10-point scale and should be read as an admissions guide, not a linear conversion.
| Home grade | Dutch grade (1–10) | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Excellent (9-10) | 8.0–8.5 | very good |
| Good (7-8.99) | 7.0–7.5 | good |
| Satisfactory / pass (5-6.99) | 5.5–6.5 | pass |
| Fail (0-4.99) | 1.0–5.4 | fail |
How the Dutch 1–10 scale works
Dutch grades run from 1 to 10, with 5.5 the minimum pass. Most grades fall between 6 and 8; a 9 is rare and a 10 is almost never awarded. Read more in our Dutch grading system guide.
Will my grades be good enough?
For Dutch university admission, Armenian applicants are normally assessed on the level of the secondary or higher-education credential plus subject results. Selective programmes will usually look for consistently Good to Excellent results, roughly 7/10 or higher, with 9-10/10 indicating a particularly strong record.
Important: this is indicative only
These conversions are estimates. An official grade conversion requires a formal credential evaluation, and each university makes its own admission decision. See our credential evaluation and ECTS credits guides.
