Thanks
agree Ian M-H (X) : I'd use "grade" here (for the Noten 1 to 4) and keep "mark" for the underlying scores/points/percentages or whatever.

agree Sarah Swift : With Ian. A, B, C, D or 1 - 4 are approximate "grades" and are calculated from exact marks like 68%. But 1,4 or something would definitely be a mark and not a grade.
