 For an average grade better than 7, but not meeting the criteria for "cum laude", "met genoegen" ("with pleasure") is sometimes awarded.Converting the numbers of the Dutch grading system into the letters of systems such as those used in the United States and Great Britain, is difficult, especially given the fact that the Dutch grading system is linear rather than curved.It can really only be done if one can compare the frequency distribution of grades in the two systems.
