Equivalences With Other Grading Systems
Due to influence of North American television shows and media, the common US grading system that uses letters is understood in Mexico, and a rough equivalence can be made to the Mexican system, specially when television shows are localized for the Mexican audience.
| Mexican system | US system |
|---|---|
| 90–100 | A |
| 80–89 | B |
| 70–79 | C |
| 60–69 | D |
| 0–59 | E, F |
For example, "a straight-A student" may be translated as un estudiante de puro 10, or "a straight-10 student".
Other grading systems, such as those used in European countries, or the United States GPA values 0.0–4.0, are less known.

Famous quotes containing the words grading and/or systems:
“The only phenomenon with which writing has always been concomitant is the creation of cities and empires, that is the integration of large numbers of individuals into a political system, and their grading into castes or classes.... It seems to have favored the exploitation of human beings rather than their enlightenment.”
—Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)
“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
