Examples would be:

A.) AMERICAN SYSTEM – it is even referred to as the “SEVEN POINT SYSTEM.” Grades are
expressed in terms of letters. A, B, B+, B-, C, C+, C-, D.

B.) PHILIPPINE SYSTEM – or an “EIGHT POINT SYSTEM.” Grades are expressed with numerical
values. 1, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0

 Whatever be the system of grading adopted, it is clear that there appears to be a need to
convert raw score values into the corresponding standard grading system.
