Point System

Points work like this:

Letter Grade	Points
A	4
B	3
C	2
D	1
F	0

If your marks are in numbers or percentages (e.g. 83%), find out the letter-equivalents from your teacher. And point values can vary from region to region, so check with your teacher to be absolutely sure those are correct.
