Just wondering what does a GPA of 4.2 /B- on a 9 point scale mean. How significant is it?
How difficult is it to score this GPA? What percentile of the class does that mean ?
I have a concern as in my country we don't get GPA but are given scoring as percentages.

Please reply as it is urgent?

It's pretty bad. It's like a 1.9 (out of 4) GPA.

Actually a B- generally converts to a 2.67 on a 4 point scale.
