Convert average into GPA for a foreigner

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenges of understanding GPA conversion from the Argentine grading system, where grades are evaluated on a scale of 1 to 10, with a passing grade of 4. Participants note that there is no standardized method for converting grades internationally, which can create uncertainty for students considering graduation in the U.S. A resource from WES (World Education Services) is mentioned as a guideline for grade conversion, but it is emphasized that this information is unofficial. The main focus remains on the importance of achieving high grades to alleviate concerns about future academic opportunities.

Hi PF,
It might sounds stupid but if I don't ask I'll not know until I reach another turning point in my life.
I'm currently studying in Argentina and I'd like to know if there is a website or something like that that can tell what is my GPA in function of my average. Here we're evaluated on 10 and the passing grade is 4/10. I've heard that a 4/10 correspond to scoring well 60% of the exam, but it might just be rumors.
I'm a bit worried about my average and I'd like to know if I can dream about graduating in the US. Anyway I know I better score the best possible in order not to worry that much.
Sorry if I posted in the wrong section. Thank you.

In general, there is no hard and fast way to convert between foreign grading systems.

I did find this. But keep in mind that it has no official meaning; it's just a guideline.

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
