<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm from Australia and i need some help trying to determine GPA scores. My univerisity uses the honours system of H1, H2A, H2B... (first class honours, second class honours, etc). Grades are given in percentages.</p>
<p>What would 50 - 65 (Pass) , 65 - 70 (H3), 70 - 75 (H2B), 75 - 80 (H2A) and > 80 (H1A) correspond to in terms of GPA?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I knwo that the dutch system translates like this:</p>
<p>we get absolute scores out of ten:</p>
<p>1-5,5 =F
5,5-6,9=D
7.0-7,9=C
8.0-8.9=B
9.0-9.9=A
10=A+</p>
<p>at least that's what i was told..perhaps you'll be able to read the percentileson this ten scale as well?</p>
<p>In my school</p>
<p>they use percentages:</p>
<p>75% and above - A - Excellent
70 - 75 - B - Very Good
etc</p>
<p>How do percentile scores work? is it like, you get 75% if 75% of the class scored lower than you did/ or do you get 75% if you get 75% correct?</p>
<p>in holland if you get 75% correct, that gives you mark 7,5, whihc gives you a C...</p>
<p>u get 75% right and nobody scores above you...then A..</p>
<p>essentially curving.</p>
<p>ah ok...they don't do that in holland....75% correct and no one better than you is still a 7,5. </p>
<p>in exam though there is a standard that the average student should score approximately 7 for everything, so if the average mark of a test is for instance a 5,8 they will change the formula that calculates your score a bit...</p>
<p>bloody complicated. in uni it's like i first explained, 60% right is a 6 thus a D no matter whether anyone scores higher than you do.</p>
