3=65
4=80
5=98
These grades are considered equivalent to the 5-unit level of the Israeli Bagrut.
Bonuses are given for the high level (equivalent to 5 Israeli units) in the following subjects: Mathematics (+30), Physics (+30), Chemistry (+25), Biology (+25), English (+20) and Computer Science A (+30).
