Latvian term or phrase: p (after grade in a high school diploma)
In a high school diploma issued in 2000, after the grades for Latvian and for English, there is a "p": "Latvieshu val.: 6p/8p; Anglu val.: 7p/izs.cert."
The "izs.cert." means "certificate was issued", but what is the "p" about? Does it stand for "profilkurss"?

Thanks a lot.

Explanation:
Alright. Checking my high school diploma as I write. There are no "p"s anywhere, however here is my version: for Latvian 6p is the grade received for Latvian major in the course of the year and 8p is the grade received in the final exam for Latvian major; for English 7p is the grade received for English major, correspondently, in the course of the year and "izs.sert." is the certificate where it indicates the level that the person got for the final English exam. Year 2000 was the second year when certificates were issued for certain disciplines. Hope it helps.

Explanation:
I have never seen such p's. So it could be either points or level. But wait for more opinions.

Notes to answerer
Asker: This may not be correct because there are 7s, 9s and 8s elsewhere ("7/7", "9"), and also because the "p"s were used only for Latvian and English.
