In the current grading system, a score of 9 is awarded to students who have performed exceptionally well and is equivalent to the old A* grade; 8 is equivalent to a high A or low A*, and 7 is equivalent to an A. A 6 equals a high B in the old grading system; a 5 would be a high C or low B (strong pass); and a 4 is a C (standard pass).
