In Bulgaria, the following grades are used in schools:
- 6 (Excellent) is the best possible grade.
- 5 (Very Good) is the next highest.
- 4 (Good) indicates average performance.
- 3 (Sufficient) is the lowest passing grade.
- 2 (Poor) is a failing grade.
For exact grading, two positions after the decimal point are used. Thus grades as e.g. Poor 2.50 or Excellent 5.75 are common. Every passing grade at or above the .50 mark is prefixed with the term of the higher grade. The minimum is 2.00, grades below 3.00 are failing grades, and the maximum is 6.00. Simultaneously with decimal grading is used another method for exact grading - symbols +, - & =. Plus stands for .25 above the round mark, minus is for .25 below a round mark and the equals sign stands for "two minuses" and is for a grade between .50 - .25 below a round mark (examples 6- ~ 5.75, 5+ ~ 5.25, 3.75> 4= >3.50). The .50 mark sometimes is represented as

Roughly, the Bulgarian grade system can be equated to the American one as the following: 6=A, 5=B, 4=C, 3=D, and 2=F.
