I'm done studying.. I'll go with empirical research from now on..
I actually started to study at the local university to become some sort of maths/coding-wizard but after about 6 months all I had to show for it was beer-custards and a bucket full of beer-caps.. so I started working my way up the IT-latter instead reading a few books as I see fit.

GPA = Grade Point Average .... Its a method used in North America to calculate marks based on weighting, on a scale of 4. Its weird how it is calculated !?!

Normally I have about 65%, so that'll make somewhere between 2 and 3 not?

GPA
A=4
B=3
C=2
D=1
E or F=0

add up grades, divide by number of grades
ie:
A, B, C, B = 4+3+2+3=12/4=3.0 GPA or a B average

Some schools go by weighted grades for "upper level classes" but this is the basic way
