<p>Hi, I am really concerned with GPA issue...</p>
<p>I go to international school in foreign country and we use 0-100 US grading system.</p>
<p>What concerns me is that every school has different grading system and different teachers have different standards of 'A'.</p>
<p>For example, in my math class, (I take most advanced math class) I earned 83% (which is B-) but I was the best student with highest grade. The teacher doesnt really care about percentage grade, and makes the test really hard to prepare us for IB exam.</p>
<p>However, in my english class, I earned 94% (A), but I didnt do anything, and was like lower half of students in english class. The teacher simply gives out free grades such as participation, homework, and easy quizzes and literally 90% of students have A.</p>
<p>For whole year, I worked for my math wayyy more than I did in English. However, my gpa on transcript tells me I am much better student in English class. </p>
<p>I find this really confusing. And I am sure other schools also have this problem because different teachers have different standards of A,B,C,D, and F.</p>
<p>How will colleges look at this???? also, what happens if student in local high school with 99% gpa in AP Calculus class gets 2 on AP exam, but student in private school with 75% gpa gets 5 on Ap exam? It is very clear who is simply better in AP calculus, but in GPA wise, a student with 2 will get much better shot in college admission. </p>
<p>I find this terribly confusing.. Thank you!</p>
