Honduras → Dutch grade conversion table
Honduras commonly reports grades on a 0-100 percentage scale. The minimum passing mark is often 60 in higher education, while the national school scale cited by the Secretaría de Educación uses 70 as the pass mark.
| Home grade | Dutch grade (1–10) | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Excellent / Avanzado (90-100%) | 8.0–8.5 | excellent |
| Very good (86-89%) | 7.5–8.0 | very good |
| Good / Muy satisfactorio (80-85%) | 7.0–7.5 | good |
| Satisfactory / average (70-79%) | 6.0–6.8 | satisfactory |
| Minimum acceptable pass (60-69%) | 5.5–6.0 | pass |
| Failure / reprobado (0-59%) | 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 admissions, Honduran grades in the high 80s and 90s indicate strong preparation, but admission decisions also depend on the recognised level of the diploma and required subjects. A bare pass, especially around 60-70, is normally not enough for selective programmes without other strong evidence.
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.
