marking system

How points accumulate

A marking system is a method for evaluating and recording performance, especially in education.

British and American schools use different marking systems—letter grades in the US, numerical scores or descriptors elsewhere.

The term extends to any standardized way of assigning scores or ratings: The company introduced a new marking system for employee reviews.
