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)
“No civilization ... would ever have been possible without a framework of stability, to provide the wherein for the flux of change. Foremost among the stabilizing factors, more enduring than customs, manners and traditions, are the legal systems that regulate our life in the world and our daily affairs with each other.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
