School System?
 

Okay so I need to convert my English grades into Spanish. I have 13 GCSE's, 4 A-Levels and currently awaiting my University degree. I need however to inform a company here in Valencia of my current grades yet this needs to be done using the Spanish system.

I have read a few things online saying an A = 9, B = 8, C = 7 etc. but this doesn't seem right.

Does anyone have any knowledge at all in this area and could give me a little help or point me in the right direction? :thumbsup:

I can't say for absolute certain - but at age 16 to pass the 'graduado' exams a 5 is a pass - so that seems to fit the info you have found

quite how you convert A levels though I'm not sure - the Bachillerato is less subject specific

an International school which teaches both the UK & Spanish systems might be best to help you - have a look at this website which might help http://www.nabss.org/

schools have finished for summer but you might find some staff still in some of them

It could well be right as the school system here marks all term tests, end of year tests and end of term marks from 0-10 (5 being the pass mark) so anything above 5 is a pass and would be converted to percentages i.e a mark of 10 would be 100%. Hope this helps.

Ah thank you ever so much. So does this mean I would be writing something similar to:

English Literature - 9
Sociology - 9
Psychology - 9
I.T. - 8

Or would i simply add the points up and write COLLEGE NAME: 35 points?

Most international schools are still at work until tomorrow. I should know, I am still sat here !!
