I was wondering if there is a way to compare these two grade systems. Currently I read a lot on this forum, and I always see you need an GPA of ... We in the Netherlands work with another kind of grade system, as you might know. Is there a way to compare these two, so you can say: a GPA of 3,5 is an average grade of 7,5 in the Netherlands for example?
Dutch grade system: 0 - 10 (cum laude if average is >8)
GPA 0 - 4

Well US GDP is usually quoted as annual rate of increase/decrease in the actual GDP number. Then there is the issue of gross GDP vs. real GDP (which are you asking about), depending what you want to use, and whether you want to quote the annual change, rate of annual change, or the actual number (in trillions)....
Oh you meant GPA?
It is probably easier to think about it in terms of class rank, combined with some sort of scoring for the difficulty of coursework/school. As for a direct comparison I don't know much about the Dutch grading system. Using a straight linear conversion doesn't seem to work if cum laude starts at 8 (that would be 3.2 in US system). Also have to consider grade inflation and how prevalent it is in the US vs. the Netherlands.
