Ok, I have no idea about Latin based system for Finnish degree. Is "Non sine laude approbatur" grading/ranking good or bad? Out of scale 0 to 5 where 0 is lowest and 5 is highest?

Non sine laude approbatur

Non sine laude approbatur ("ei ilman kiitosta hyväksytään")eli N on pro gradu -tutkielman arvosana. Ylioppilaskokeessa sitä ei käytetä. Arvosana sijoittuu lubenter approbaturin (B) ja cum laude approbaturin (C) väliin.

Suomalaisessa kouluarvostelussa (4–10) arvosanaa non sine laude approbatur vastaavaa kategoriaa ei tunneta, mutta se asettuisi arvosanojen 6 ja 7 väliin.

It's not very good, actually, but still it's a bit stronger than a mere "pass"...

Master's thesis grading:

A seven-level Latin grading scale will be applied in the grading of the Master's theses (laudatur being the highest grade):

Laudatur
Eximia cum laude approbatur
Magna cum laude approbatur
Cum laude approbatur
Non sine laude approbatur
Lubenter approbatur
Approbatur

So... on a scale of 1-7 it's 3... what onkko's saying is that this grade is not used in the Ylioppilastutkinto (matriculation exam) > http://www.ylioppilastutkinto.fi/en/index.html.

cum laude is "with praises accepted" and non sine is " if I was you I wouldn't keep noise about it"
