How do I translate Italian high school grades into american high school grades


How do I translate Italian high school grades into american high school grades?
I need to translate a 5, a 6 (barely sufficient) and 7(good). The range in Italy is 4 ( bad), 5( insufficient), 6(sufficient), 7(good), 8(very good). By the final high school grade what is 38/60? 36 is the minimum and 60 is the maximum.

Doesn't really translate over. but you could say A is an 8 B is a 7 C is a 6 D is a 5 F is a 4 we are based on a 100% scale. We don't get a final high school grade. All of our grades are added together and average out for a GPA. Grade Point Average. 4.0 being the highest.

I agree, A=8 (90-100%) B=7 (80-89%) C=6 (70-79%) D=5 (60-69%) F=4 (0-59%) As for the GPA, A=4.0 B=3.0 C=2.0 D=1.0 F=0.0 So an average of 38/60, 63%, would be approximately a D, or around a 1.3 GPA.
