overall achievement mark Explanation: This is the term used by Utdanningsdirektoratet these past five years. I know, because I was part of the team that developed their NO>EN dictionary for lower and secondary education. Note the use of mark versus grade, which Utdir was emphatic about, although I disagree to the confusing use of mark for grading (marking?). Of course, things change, and the latest version of the Dictionary (see the hyperlink below) includes curious words and phrases that just appeared out of nowhere...
