Did you know?
- The root of كشف also relates to the concept of 'unveiling' in Sufi mysticism. To have a كشف in a spiritual sense is to receive a divine revelation or a glimpse into the unseen world.
- Depending on the country a transcript might be called كشف نقاط specifically in regions influenced by the French 'bulletin de notes'. Here the word نقاط means 'points' rather than 'grades'.
- While درجات means 'grades' in an academic context it also means 'stairs' or 'steps'. A student's transcript is literally a list of the 'steps' they have climbed throughout their education.
