Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on
convert-me.com FaceBook pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

How do American school grades (A B C D E F) translate to the Dutch system (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)? 10 is the highest you can score on a subject, 1 is the lowest you can score.
Are there letters that score lower than an F? How can you score an A+?

A is the best. Most grading systems use either "E" or "F" not both for a failing grade. "D" is a very marginal pass. Generally, the letters have the connotation A = excellent, B = good, C = average, D = below average or marginal pass, E or F = failure.
The exact percentages on a test vs letter grade vary from school to school. The letters are amended with "+" or "-_ to create some intermediate grades.
Where a grade point average is computed, usually A = 4, B = 3, etc. If plus and minus is assigned as part of grade, it usually changes the numerical grade by 0.3
Grades in all subjects (and over all years of high school, or later, college) are averaged to determine GPA, grade point average. High school GPA is important in college admission, employers usually look at college GPA.
