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.

Ok. Thank you for answering. It remains to me to get the best grades now.
 
I did find this. But keep in mind that it has no official meaning; it's just a guideline.
