This was the first thing I noticed.

I automatically associate the term 'GPA' with the American-style 4-point scale. I'm not aware that GPA is often used in other contexts. If this is understood on these terms, it will be an instant rejection.

There's also further confusion with 70% vs 86%.

Perhaps it would help to use the appropriate German term?

It's curious that the USA has effectively standardized on a 4 point GPA scale, yet Australia is still a complete catastrophe of marks. The universities in my city use a 7 point scale with 4 being a pass and 7 being 100%, meanwhile the one 100km south will use an American scale.

I actually don't know whether it would be more appropriate when conveying my marks to those in other countries to convert, or to just explain the scale.
