== Mark distribution system ==
The education boards of Bangladesh have provided the result based on [[GPA]] (grade point average), which depends on each subject average grade point (GP). Marks above 80 will count as GP 5.00 or A+, while marks above 70 will count as GP 4.00 or A. However, prior to 2018, there was a 4th-subject system that could cover up to 3 A+ grades if a student achieved an A+ in the 4th subject. For better understanding, the marks distribution chart is provided below.
