Spanish universities use two different grading scales. The students' performance is assessed using a 10-point grading scale. The grades can be expressed in words as follows:

• 9.0-10 with distinction: "Matrícula de Honor". (The number of students eligible for this grade is usually limited by statute to less than 5% for a given assessment, or, in small groups, to 1 student in 20.)
• 9.0-10: "Sobresaliente" ("outstanding").
• 7-8.9: "Notable" ("very good").
• 5-6.9: "Aprobado" ("pass").
• 0-4.9: "Suspenso" ("fail").

Furthermore, when a student has passed a subject according to this 10-point scale, her or his grade is converted to the following 4-point scale and recorded in her/his transcript of records:

• "Matrícula de Honor": 4.
• "Sobresaliente": 3.
• "Notable": 2.
• "Aprobado": 1.

Since these grades are given on the teacher's discretion, there is no easy correspondence to the ECTS grading scale, which is based on the class percentile of passed students in a given assessment. For this reason, the following table is only an approximation:

Grade in Spanish Academic Records Definition Estimated ECTS Grade Definition 4 Matrícula de Honor A+ Top Qualification in Class or Subject 3 Sobresaliente A Highest 10% 2 Notable B-C Next 20% 1 Aprobado D-E Next 85% Suspenso FX-F Not Pass
