What are the different grading systems used in Asia?

In Asia, grading systems vary widely. For example, many countries use a 100-point scale, while others may use letter grades or a GPA system. Can you specify a country you're interested in?

I'm interested in Japan's grading system.

Japan typically uses a 5-point scale, where 5 is the highest and 1 is the lowest. Some universities also use a letter grading system alongside it.

How does that compare to China's system?

China generally uses a 100-point scale, where scores above 60 are considered passing. Some institutions also convert these scores into a GPA format.

Are there any countries in Asia that use a pass/fail system?

Yes, some countries, like Singapore, have institutions that use a pass/fail grading system, especially for certain courses or programs.
