Grade

Grade in SuperMemo is a number from 0 to 5, which expresses how well the student answered a given question. Some SuperMemos may use simpler grade scales, e.g. from 0 to 1, or use names for grades, e.g. Good, Pass, Fail, etc. It is important to remember that grades do not play an important role in newer SuperMemo algorithms. It is, however, very important to remember the distinction between passing grades that indicate recall, and failing grades that indicate a failure (memory lapse).
