In America, an alphabetic rating system is used: A, B, C, D, F, where A is
the equivalent of the Russian “five” and F is “deuces”. By the way, each
of the ratings, except F, can be accompanied by a + or - sign. Based on
school marks, an average GPA (grade point average) is formed. This
indicator is usually required when entering university.
