Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Emma Goldsmith

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

From my personal experience and the public translation I had of my GPA and courses I would keep the same scale (outstanding). What the translator did in my case (when he translated my grades--university level--and it was notarized) he just kept the Argentinian numbers (8, 9, ect...) and in the States universities have a kind of country scale convertion table, so they looked up the Argentine and they saw that we use a 1-10 scale... That is my personal experience in the USA. Keep what you have and let them make the conversion. for my husband the translator did the same and we did not have any problems to study there.

Best possible mark You need to decide on a mark/grade scale in English, and go for the top one!

excellent mark

In this context. Despite swimming against the groupthink current, I suggest this translation.

This may be 1.0 or 4.0, depending on policy and practice of an institution of higher learning. See also Oxford Business Spanish-English dictionary, where this English equivalent of "sobresaliente" is used.
