2.75 GPA, and that only because I took another course after I graduated. 3.5 is a WOW!!!!

We don't get a GPA, just grades for every subject.

Don't brag about 3.5 GPA being "not great". I would kill to have that. I'm close to 3 but I'm passing. Either way congrats

here we add together all grades and then devide that by the number of subjects
Interesting, what if someone is brilliant at maths and gets a top grade but rubbish at art
and gets a bottom grade?

Would the lower overall average stop someone getting a job.

Just curious as in the UK each subject is graded independently.
Some jobs or university's specifically want good grades in certain subjects
but they would not bother if you failed in others.

well the arts will put your general value down. Usually the Employer looks at the grades that are important (german,english, math and PE) which have more weight. I dont know exacly how the buisness folks do it but these 4 have more weight than smaller grades.
So if they calculate professionally the arts F wouldnt make a big difference. But if you have a bad grade in PE your grade gets hurt the most.
but in normal calculation like most do it , yes it would give u a lower overall grade

I dont know but I guess
A=1
B=2
C=3
D=4
E=5

but I dont know. out grading is from 1-6 and on the grade cards its words where you gotta know what word is what grade


But our grades are A, B, C , D, E so how does that work?

So you could be Stephen Hawking, good at maths and science, but useless at history, english and art, and get a terrible score? That doesn't make any sense.

*sigh lets do the math
1=math
1=science
4=history
5=history
5= arts
---
16/5 = 3.2 which is average ( C )

Ok I get that Demi, but Hawking is a genius and your system now has him down as average? So I am saying that taking a mean of all subjects just rewards all-rounders, not brilliance. For instance, I am USELESS at maths and science, but I get good marks in english, history, geography and religious studies, and ok in French and Latin (amazingly). But I bet my GPA would be average or just below.

Well it can destroy you but it can also save you. My A in English is what saved me that I was able to go to college already. lets see, Ill guess your math and science is not F lol
Math and science 4x2
Engl, History, geo,Reli 2x4
French n latin 3

19/8 = 2.38 which is GPA 2/B :) so thats above average now even if we change a 4 to a 5 it would be 2.5 which is Average to good
