pointers? u mean the numerical value of it?

the value varies from university to university, hence why i only put an instance in my example earlier. some universities may have 1st class starting from 3.75, others may be about 3.65. on the other hand, 2nd class upper may be from 3.30, others as low as 2.90.

yes, it varies too much that it's hard to make an objective comment.

I graduated from a US university. In US, they have different 'honors' classification. Those who graduate with minimum CGPA of 3.50 are categorized as graduating with honors. Moreover, there are 3 subcategories of honors (cum laude);

summa cum laude - min CGPA 3.90 to 4.00 >>> equivalent to 1st class honors in Msia

magna cum laude - min CGPA 3.70 to 3.89 >>> partially 1st class honors, partially second class upper, depends on the CGPA

cum laude - min CGPA 3.50 to 3.69 >>> second class upper

How do i calculate if the grades were to have + and -
Like A+, A-, B+, B-
*
each grade is assigned a point.

ex. A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0....etc.

Nope, the said rule only applies only to A+ and A, all other grades after that have their own pointers, with B+ = 3.33, B = 3.00, B- = 2.67, C+ = 2.33, C = 2.00, the rest is a bit of gray area because while some universities assign pointers to grades below C, some consider them as fail and assign a pointer of zero...

My US university assigned C- = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0 and F = 0. But then this was a couple of decades ago! smile.gif
