In Brazil, 'avaliação' is the standard term in educational contexts, while 'classificação' is used in quality control and sorting contexts. The grading system in Brazil typically uses numerical scales (0-10 or 0-100) rather than letter grades common in the USA. In Portugal, 'classificação' is preferred in formal academic settings.
