Don't kill yourself for a 3.3 GPA by memorizing formulas and definitions; instead, spend more time focusing on how the lessons you learn in class relate to real life.
Some high schools, to reflect the varying skill required for different course levels, will give higher numerical grades for difficult courses, often referred to as a weighted GPA. For example, two common conversion systems used in honors and Advanced Placement courses are: A = 5 or 4.5; B = 4 or 3.5 [5] C = 3 or 2.5; D = 2 or 1.5; F = 0 [19]
GPA not reported. Upper year courses have an easier curve. [118] GPA calculated based on 4.33 scale. New York University School of Law – not reported, but likely around 3.3 after 1L.

In high school, if a student, at the end of the year, reports an insufficient grade average in a certain subject (5 or below), he or she has to take a reparatory exam before the next school year begins; if the result of the reparatory exam is again not sufficient, the student cannot pass to the next year and will have to repeat it.

To pass a year, this overall result needs to be sufficient. Sometimes further conditions need to be fulfilled, such as a maximum allowed number of grades below four. At university level, classes can often be repeated individually in case of an insufficient grade, so not the whole year or semester needs to be repeated.
The GPA grading scale is becoming more and more common as well since it eases the comparison with American students. [citation needed] Some Grandes écoles use "exotic" systems, like Ecole Centrale de Lille, which uses a three-letter scale system [citation needed]: A: Excellent (acquis) S: Satisfactory (satisfaisant) I: Fail (insuffisant)
