As for ecz, the grading systems are very straight forward. There are three ecz classes who writes ecz exams which are held every year namely grade 7, 9 and 12.
Many students, in fact almost 95% of grade 7 candidates pass their exams easily. Unlike grade 9 and 12 where it all depends on studies. Well, this is not our topic of discussion today so let us discuss grading system.
I have created a simple table showing grades and points alternatively. Check the table below for grade 9 grading system.
Grade 9 exam isn’t that easy as grade 7 exam. You really need to study hard to get better grades.
If you do not make it grade 9 then don’t just enter grade 10 with no intention of rewriting grade 9. If you do not pass in grade 9 exams ecz will not allow you to write grade 12 exams.
Now let’s see the table below for grade 12 ecz grading system.
You have seen the table above, there is nothing complicated. There is also Point 8 and 9 which is not different than fail.
So to pass grade 12 ecz exams isn’t just a to write and submit thing. You really need to work and study as hard as much as possible.
