Cambodia → Dutch grade conversion table
Cambodian higher education commonly uses a 0-100 percentage scale with letter grades; 50% is normally the minimum passing mark. Some institutions also report a 0-10 or GPA-style scale, so always check the transcript legend.
| Home grade | Dutch grade (1–10) | Level |
|---|---|---|
| A / Excellent (85-100%) | 8.0–8.5 | excellent |
| B+ / Very Good (80-84.99%) | 7.5–8.0 | very good |
| B / Good (70-79.99%) | 7.0–7.5 | good |
| C+ / Fairly Good (65-69.99%) | 6.5–7.0 | satisfactory |
| C / Satisfactory (50-64.99%) | 5.5–6.5 | pass |
| F / Fail (0-49.99%) | 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 admission, Cambodian grades are reviewed alongside the credential level and institution recognition; a B/good average is usually a stronger benchmark for selective bachelor or master entry, while minimum passes alone are rarely competitive.

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.
