Swedish grades<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Swedish grades are letters: A-F.\u00a0 When a student from a Swedish “h\u00f6gstadium” makes an application his\/her grades are transformed into points, according to the following scale:
A = 20
B =17,5
C =15
D =12,5
E =10
F =0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Calculate a Merit (meritv\u00e4rde<\/strong>)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To be able to calculate a merit you first have to transform your French grades into Swedish letters according to the scale below, and then into points. After that you sum up all the points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compare merit<\/strong> (Meritv\u00e4rden)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Students in Swedish schools have 17 subjects (16 if they take away one of the languages). The maximum meritv\u00e4rde is therefore 320-340 (with an A in all subjects).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A student at LFSL has 12-13 subjects, which gives a meritv\u00e4rde of 240-260. This means that a student from LFSL can’t compare his\/her mertiv\u00e4rde with the Swedish ones as they don’t have the same amount of subjects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you can do to get an idea of your chances, is to compare the number of points that the last person accepted has, i.e. the person with the lowest grades, the “antagningsgr\u00e4ns”, the median and the merit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:<\/strong>
The admisson points from last year (sl<\/a>utlig antagning<\/a><\/font><\/font>)
A school has the following points for one of their programs:  
Antagningsgr\u00e4ns: 285<\/strong>
Median: 305<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divide the “antagningsgr\u00e4ns” and the median with the number of subjects (17) to get an average.
Average “antagningsgr\u00e4ns”: 16,8<\/strong>
Average median: 17,9<\/strong>
These are the numbers you use to compare the average of your mertiv\u00e4rde. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your merit is 210 and you have 13 subjects, your average is: 16. <\/strong>When you compare your average with the averages above you can see that your average is a bit lower. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you won’t get accepted:
