I liked and used this because although I am really quite sure it is the GPA [and to Sam who is a Brit and we don't use that terminology, it stands for Grade Point Average, the average of all your grades] I didn't feel in this case like adding up all 65 subjects and their grades and dividing them to see if it was right so I said Overall Achievement Average which I also think is closer to the sense of the original.
Thanks to all! And sorry Magno but I can only give the points to one person :(

GPA=Grade Point Average

--------------------------------------------------

in Mexico the GPA is based (usually) from a scale of 10. Sometimes in letters A,B,c...etc. In the US As far as I know the GPA is based on a scale of 4.0

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 2002-01-28 19:49:09 (GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

I wouldn\'t convert the scale. I would leave the grade(s) as it is and somehow make sure (somewhere) the scale is known.

Well, in the USA they use letters also, and different scales sometimes, but you get the idea...:O)

I just saw your profile, if you are in France I don\'t know what they use in France. If the translations is for the USA, then use GPA, otherwise all depends on your target country.
