Some American graduate schools use nine- or ten-point grading scales, formerly including the Rackham School of Graduate Studies at the University of Michigan, where 9.0 = A+, 8.0 = A, 7.0 = A−, and so on. (Rackham switched to a more conventional four-point scale in August 2013.) [75] In a handful of states, GPA scales can go above 4.0.

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]
Grading in education is the application of standardized measurements to evaluate different levels of student achievement in a course. Grades can be expressed as letters (usually A to F), as a range (for example, 1 to 6), percentages, or as numbers out of a possible total (often out of 100).
At one American university where I taught undergraduate classes, the average grade given is 80-83% (2.66 to 3.0 on a US 4 pt. GPA scale), with approximately 25% of students scoring a 90 or higher (3.66-4.0). The quoted section is more representative of graduate school classes, where half of students tend to recieve above 90%.
Calculate the grade distribution in terms of percentages for the reference group. Include the grading percentage table of your degree programme in every Transcript of Records/Diploma Supplement. For transfer, compare the percentage table of the other institution's degree programme with your own.

In Italian primary and secondary school a 10-point scale is used, 6 being the minimum grade for passing.. Traditionally in the most prestigious high schools (Liceo Classico, Liceo Scientifico, Liceo Linguistico and Liceo delle Scienze Umane), grades vary within a limited range, between 2 and 8, often with each professor applying his/her own custom.
