Schweizer Examensnote: 5

German to English Medical Education / Pedagogy Facharztprüfungsnote
Hallo ProZ-Profis,
Bin gerade dabei ein CV aus der Schweiz ins Englische zu übersetzen und wüsste gern was für eine Note "5" ist bezogen auf eine Schweizer Facharztprüfung.
Zum Beispiel: bei deutschen Abituren, wuerde ich 1 als "excellent" uebersetzen, 2 also "above average" etc.
Doch ich habe keine Ahnung was für eine Skala bei Schweizer Facharztprüfungen verwendet wird (1-10? 1-6?).
Freue mich auf Vorschlaege!
Beste Gruesse aus San Francisco,
t r e y

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): writeaway

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Ich hab mal gehört, dass in der Schweiz die umgekehrte Notenverteilung gilt, also 6 entspricht sehr gut, wobei demnach 1 das Schlechteste wäre. Ob das hier zutrifft weiß ich leider nicht.

5 out of 6

Usually, it goes in quarters (6 is the highest, then 5.75, 5.5, 5.25...)
Verbally it would be:
Sehr Gut =6, Gut =5, Genügend =4, Ungenügend =3

agree Steve Poynter : Opposite to the German grading system, a 1 in Switzerland is the worst mark
