What is a "grade"?

A grade is a mark given by a teacher to reflect how well a student is doing in a particular subject or course. It is typically represented as a letter (such as A, B, C) or a number, with higher marks indicating better performance. Grades are used to assess a student's understanding of the material, skills, and overall progress throughout the term. They are often used in determining academic achievement, influencing future opportunities such as higher education or job prospects.
