MatthewLaSon Jun 11, 2007:
Question is closed, but "note ramenée" means "mark/grade rescaled" (to a basis of 20 points/out of 20 points). It's not just "scaled", but "rescaled."

the equivalent mark out of 20

Laurel's explanation is perfect - . But just wanted to try and get into the expression the fact that it is not originally a mark out of 20.
Phrase would thus read 'The equivalent mark out of 20 (original mark out of in the questionnaire) is given to facilitate.....'

Marked out of 20

This is the normal phrase when talking about the total marks.

scaled to a maximum of 20

When I was in school (many years ago, it's true ...) we talked about scale(d) marks when the results with dîfferent maxima were adjusted to the same range.
Peer comment(s):

agree Tony M : Yes, 'scaled' is the term I would have expected here too

grade/mark rescaled to a basis of 20 points (out of 20)

Hello,

ramenée = rescaled (not just "scaled")

sur 20 = to a basis of 20 points/ out of 20

I hope this helps.
