What is the "nines system"?
The nines system, also known as the 9-point grading scale, is a system used to assess students' performance in some education systems, typically in countries like India. It assigns numerical values to grades, with the highest score being 9 and lower scores corresponding to various levels of performance. For example, a student who scores a 9 has performed excellently, while a score of 6 might indicate an average level of performance. The system helps simplify grading by using a smaller range of numbers, with the goal of reducing stress related to small differences in scores.
