Academic grading in Iceland

In Iceland, a grade point average (GPA) is given as a weighted average of all grades in a marked period. Grades range from 0–10, where 10 is the highest, and the GPA is rounded off to two decimal points.

Term- and course grades are given on the scale of 0–10 with increments of 0.5.
