Dapat 4 tak bermaksud 4 flat ye rakan-rakan

The marking system in Germany is totally different than the one in Malaysia.In Malaysia,we use the 4-point GPA and CPGA grading scheme to calculate our marks at the tertiary education level. However, in Germany, a 6-point grading scale (GPA) is used instead.Not only that,the numbers also represent different meanings...

Malaysia's Grading System

Grading Scheme: Grade Point Average (GPA)

The grading scheme follows the 4.00 grade point systems.

A+	90-100	4.00	Exceptional
A	80-89	3.75	Excellent
B+	76-79	3.50
B+	72-75	3.25	Good
B-	68-71	3.00
C+	65-67	2.75
C	60-64	2.50	Average
C-	56-59	2.00
D+	50-55	1.50	Pass
D	40-49	1.00	Marginal Pass
F	0-39	0.00	Fail

Germany's Grading System

In German universities (besides the law schools) the 1 to 5 scale is used:

• 1,0-1,3 sehr gut (very good: an outstanding achievement)
• 1,7-2,3 gut (good: an achievement, which lies substantially above average requirements)
• 2,7-3,3 befriedigend (satisfactory: an achievement, which corresponds to average requirements)
• 3,7-4,0 ausreichend (sufficient: an achievement, which still meets the requirements)
• 4,3-5,0 nicht ausreichend / nicht bestanden (not sufficient / failed: an achievement, which does not meet the requirements)

Huhu..so that's it...the difference between German and Malaysia's academic grading system...Alhamdullillah I managed to get 2,3 for the Feststellungsprüfung (Final exam that determines whether I can get into a university or not) and will be heading to Krefeld to further my studies in Mechanical Engineering...insyaallah...
