That is, the weighted average. In short, it is to calculate the weighted average of all subjects' scores and then convert them into a 4-point scale in proportion. It is relatively fair according to the proportion of each science.

Simple quartering method

Which is the average score. The domestic 100 scale is a simple and rude one-to-one correspondence with the foreign 4 scale.

1、85 ~ 100 = 4.0;

2, 60 ~ 84 = 1.5 ~3.9 (increase by 0. 1 min)

The algorithm of Zhejiang University is similar to several common algorithms of high segmentation, but the segmentation below 85 points is more detailed.

So going abroad is also very friendly to their students. In contrast, most schools in China will not use the most favorable algorithm to convert a high score and print it on the report card.

In addition, each school has its own algorithm. In fact, the algorithm is different, but how to calculate it depends on the requirements of each target school.
