Senior Middle UEC results are reported on a nine-point scale, subject by subject.
| Grade | Band | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| A1, A2 | Distinction | The top band — 优等 |
| B3 – B6 | Credit | A solid pass — 良等 |
| C7, C8 | Pass | Passed, but below credit |
| F9 | Fail | Not passed |
The distinction most requirements turn on is not pass or fail but credit: B6 and above. A university asking for a number of subjects usually means subjects at credit, so C7 and C8 satisfy fewer requirements than their name suggests. Junior Middle uses a simpler letter scale and is not read the same way.
There is no overall grade
UEC reports each subject separately and produces no aggregate, no average and no total. Anyone quoting a single UEC "score" is quoting something a university calculated, not something the certificate says.
That calculation differs by institution. A common approach abroad is to convert the letters into points — A1 as 1, A2 as 2, down to C8 as 8 — and add the best four or five subjects, where a lower total is better. Which subjects count, and how many, is set by the receiving university, and two universities reading the same certificate can arrive at different figures.
What this means in practice
- Read the requirement, not the rumour. Requirements are written as specific subjects at specific grades. "Five credits" and "a total of 12 points in the best five" are different tests, and a student can meet one and miss the other.
- The subjects that count are usually named. A science degree wants the sciences; a commerce course wants Mathematics and often Accounting or Economics. Strong grades in subjects the course does not count do not help.
- Nothing is averaged away. One F9 does not pull down the rest, but it also cannot be hidden by them if that subject is one the course requires.
Results
Results are released some weeks after the examination and are checked online with the examination number, with report slips sent to schools. As with every other part of UEC, the result is per subject — the certificate lists the subjects sat and the grade awarded in each.
高中统考的成绩以九级制呈报，逐科评级。
| 等级 | 级别 | 含义 |
|---|---|---|
| A1、A2 | 优等 | 最高一档 |
| B3 – B6 | 良等 | 扎实的及格 |
| C7、C8 | 及格 | 及格，但未达良等 |
| F9 | 不及格 | 未通过 |
大部分入学条件真正看的分界，不是及格与否，而是良等（B6 以上）。大学要求“若干科”时，通常指的是达到良等的科目，因此 C7、C8 能满足的条件，比字面上看起来少。初中统考使用较简单的字母等级，读法也不同。
没有总成绩
统考逐科呈报，不设总分、不算平均、也没有合计。凡是引用某个统考“总分”的说法，引用的都是某所大学自己算出来的数字，而不是文凭上写的东西。
各校算法不同。海外常见的做法是把等级换成分数——A1 算 1 分、A2 算 2 分，直到 C8 算 8 分——再取最好的四科或五科相加，总分越低越好。算哪些科、算几科，由录取的大学决定；两所大学读同一份文凭，得出的数字可能不同。
实际上要注意什么
- 看要求本身，别听传言。入学条件写的是指定科目达到指定等级。“五科良等”与“最好五科合计 12 分”是两种不同的门槛，学生可能符合其一而不符合另一。
- 要算的科目通常有指明。理科学位看理科；商科课程看数学，往往也看会计或经济。课程不计算的科目考得再好也帮不上忙。
- 没有平均可言。一科 F9 不会拖累其他科；但如果那一科正是课程要求的科目，其他科也遮不住它。
成绩公布
成绩在考试结束数周后公布，凭考生编号在线查询，成绩单寄往学校。与统考的其他部分一样，成绩是逐科的——文凭上列出所考科目与各科等级。
