In public universities, sobresaliente begins on 9, not on 8.5, and so i have edited. In most schools is the same. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.130.39.141 (talk) 18:03, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While only 1% of all final marks should be a "marticula de honor" in my experience at one department of a Spanish University, it's much more than that in the case of Master's and PhD theses. In fact, at most of the defenses where I've been present students were given "marticula de honor". I've even seen "notables" been given to students who wrote a Master´s thesis that, in my mind, wasn't even worthy of being submitted for evaluation (in one case I was reserve member of the evaluation commission). Of course one needs to find emprical evidence on this issue to see if this is a widespread problem in Spain --158.109.138.156 (talk) 16:19, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
