Outstanding

Outstanding was one of the three passing grades, out of six grades overall, in the Ordinary Wizarding Levels, Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests, and Wizards' Ordinary Magic and Basic Aptitude Test]]s. It was the highest mark possible, immediately above 'Exceeds Expectations'.
==Advancement==
While most professors at Hogwarts set their N.E.W.T. classes entrance standards at 'Exceeds Expectations', meaning that the students must acquire such a grade in their O.W.L. in order to continue, Professor Severus Snape had set his Potions standards to 'Outstanding', meaning only the very best could continue.
