Common App for international student

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello, I am appliyng to US as an international student and having problems with completing common application.
1) In my country no one uses "Class rank reporting", "Cumulative GPA", "GPA scale" and "GPA weighting". What should I fill in these forms? In my school I'm one of the best students and my grades are all 5 (our scale is: 2-poor, 3-below average, 4-good, 5-excellent).
2) In my country we don't use credit value. What does it even mean? This form is required, so I have no idea what to do with it.
3) What do honors mean? Seems like in Russia we have no such thing, too.
4) In Russia we have only 11 years of schooling, not 12 like in US. And we spend all these years in one school and with the same teachers for all that time. Which grade levels should I choose where it is required?</p>

<p>Thank you, if someone could help! I wish these are not very hard questions! :)</p>

<p>1) Don’t bother about them! For GPA and Class Rank, there’s the option that says that your school does not report them. Select that option. Your grades will be seen in your transcripts. </p>

<p>2) As for the credit value, I think 1 year of a subject = 1 credit value.(This is what I read on a forum and have entered. I’m an international student too.)</p>

<p>3) Again, leave the “Class Level”(“Honors”, “AP”, etc) blank. You need to select one only if one of them is applicable to you. </p>

<p>Hope this has helped!</p>
