la nota
the grade
Example Sentence
Mi nota mejora cuando estudio con metodo.
My grade improves when I study methodically.
Meaning
La nota is a grade or score, especially in school (a test, an assignment, or a course). It can also mean a short note, but in this theme it is usually academic.
Common Phrases
- sacar una nota alta — to get a high grade
- subir la nota — to raise the grade
Example
Quiero subir mi nota en el proximo examen.
I want to raise my grade on the next exam.
Common Mistake
Do not mix up a grade and a note: use la nota for a grade, not una nota when you mean your score.
