Numerical grading scales are standardized systems used to evaluate, score, or assess performance, achievement, or quality by assigning a number—often within a specific range (such as 0 to 100, 0-10, or 0-5)—to represent level of proficiency, correctness, or success. These scales are widely adopted in educational settings, testing environments, and various rating systems to facilitate objective measurement and comparison.
