Frequently Asked Questions
How does the German grading system work?
Germany uses a 1-6 scale: 1 = very good (90-100%), 2 = good (80-89%), 3 = satisfactory (65-79%), 4 = adequate (50-64%), 5 = poor (20-49%), 6 = very poor (0-19%). Thresholds may vary by school.
What is the difference between linear and standard grading keys?
A linear key distributes grade thresholds evenly. A standard key may weight certain ranges differently, for example making it harder to achieve top grades. Teachers can choose within their discretion.

Step-by-Step Guide
So erstellen Sie einen Notenschluessel step by step: 1. Gesamtpunktzahl der Klausur enter -- z. B. 60 Punkte. 2. Notengrenzen festlegen -- der Rechner bietet einen linearen Standardschluessel an: Note 1 ab 92 %, Note 2 ab 81 %, Note 3 ab 67 %, Note 4 ab 50 %, Note 5 ab 30 %, Note 6 unter 30 %. 3. Grenzen anpassen -- Sie koennen die Prozentwerte individuell verschieben, z. B. Note 4 ab 45 % fuer eine schwierige Klausur. 4. Ergebnis ablesen: Der Rechner zeigt fuer jede Note die Mindestpunktzahl an. 5. Halbpunkte und Tendenznotenoptionen: 1+, 1, 1- usw. sind optional einstellbar. 6. Verschiedene Schluesseltypen: Linearer Schluessel (gleichmaessige Verteilung), Knick-Schluessel (strengere Gewichtung im oberen Bereich), IHK-Schluessel (fest vorgegeben). Tipp: Fuer faire Benotung die Klausur vorab selbst loesen und die Zeit messen. Ergebnisse ggf. nach Klassenleistung anpassen.
