[QUOTE="axelbeugre, post: 149526, member: 30937"] I found it very confusing too as an international student. I have talked to many grad recruitment coordinators that told me to state my grade, explain the grading system in the additional information section, and whenever possible, state the equivalent to A-Levels (this was mainly for middle school and high school). For my undergraduate degree, I put my Italian grading system, always explaining how it worked (mainly the highest and lowest grades) and I only mentioned the final mark and the equivalent to the UK grading system. You can find this in any UK university postgraduate degree application information, for every course they will tell you how much a first class is equivalent to your academic qualification. If you have any question regarding this, I would suggest to also reach out to graduate recruitment to the firms you are applying to, they are so lovely and they are used to dealing with things like this. An example of what I have done is: [I]I completed my 14/16 exams in Italy, obtaining the Esame di Terza Media (which is the equivalent of the GCSE qualification in the UK) with a final overall grade of 9 out 10 (on a scale of 4 to 10, 4 being the lowest grade and 10 being the highest), which was the best result in my class. For individual subjects, the grade scale goes from 4 (lowest grade) to 10 (highest grade). For my post 16 exams, I completed the Diploma di Esame di Stato, the final examination that you take in high school in Italy. I obtained a final overall grade of 100/100 (on a scale of 60 being the lowest and 100 being the highest). This grade is equivalent to three A* at A Levels in the UK grading system. For individual subjects, the grade scale goes from 4 (lowest grade) to 10 (highest grade).[/I] I hope this is helpful! [USER=25667]@ADKM[/USER] [/QUOTE]
