Excuse me!? 2.0 is one of the nicer grades, but it translates to a GPA of 4.0? What the heck. It's like everyone has a 4.0 then.

>> No.2364497

Then how come you don't?

>> No.2364516

So, two top grades translate to 4.0 GPA. It's ridiculous. Gotta love germany.

The chart is inaccurate, at least in terms of US grades.

FYI:

A+ = 4.3
A = 4.0
A- = 3.6
B+ = 3.3
B = 3.0
B- = 2.6
C+ = 2.3

Either Germany is shitting out A's or US is.

Seeing as how Germany doesn't have that many good universities (top 20), I'm thinking the former.

Well that chart is specific for my physics department, no idea how the general rules are (... or if there are any after all).

>Seeing as how Germany doesn't have that many good universities (top 20)
We also don't have bottom 20 universities, mainly because nobody is keen on university penis comparison here. Do good research and you will recieve credit for it, haven't heard a single one talking about which German university is the best so far.
For example, I'm in a room with Ansgar Denner twice a week, a world-known feynman graph supercalculator machine (4th order etc), and another prof has written the de-facto standard LaTeX package for Feynman diagrams - and yet nobody bitches how great we all are here. (And if someone wore a university uniform here he would be laughed at collectively.)

I was just stunned. I mean I feel like it's a weird grading system, but ... I mean there's got to be some justification. What's a 4.0 then? Is it not "aced the tests" but something else? "Is in the top 25 %"?

Ameritards don't care about results, they only care about how you fare compared to the average.

That's why American schools are shit tier, you can get good marks without studying by exploiting the fact that other people will study even less.
