Enter the original grade, maximum grade, and minimum passing grade into the calculator to convert it to the Bavarian grade system. This calculator helps to understand how grades from different educational systems translate into the Bavarian grading scale.
Bavarian Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Bavarian grade:
BG = 3 * (MG - OG) / (MG - MPG) + 1
Variables:
- BG is the Bavarian Grade
- OG is the Original Grade (1-6)
- MG is the Maximum Grade (1-6)
- MPG is the Minimum Passing Grade (1-6)
To calculate the Bavarian grade, subtract the original grade from the maximum grade, divide by the difference between the maximum grade and the minimum passing grade, multiply by three, and then add one.
What is the Bavarian Formula?
The Bavarian formula is a mathematical formula used to convert grades from different educational systems into the Bavarian grading scale, which is commonly used in Germany. This formula is particularly useful for international students who need to convert their grades to the German system for university admissions or other academic purposes.
How to Calculate Bavarian Grade?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Bavarian Grade:
- First, determine the original grade (OG) in the scale of 1 to 6, where 1 is the best grade and 6 is the worst.
- Next, determine the maximum grade (MG) possible in the original grading system, which is typically 1.
- Then, determine the minimum passing grade (MPG) in the original grading system, which could vary.
- Use the Bavarian formula: BG = 3 * (MG - OG) / (MG - MPG) + 1.
- Finally, calculate the Bavarian Grade (BG).
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Original Grade (OG) = 2.5
Maximum Grade (MG) = 1
Minimum Passing Grade (MPG) = 4
