Grading scale

Hello,

I would ask for a help of how to appropriately name the passing and failing grades in the grading scale.

Should i say ?passing grades? and ?not(-)passing grades? or simply as mentioned above ?passing and failing grades? ?

Thank you!

Hello, Mojca-- and welcome to English Forums. Yes, I think that passing grade and failing grade are standard terminology. Not-passing is a very awkward coinage.
