Coefficientes, Notes

French to English Other Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs High School transcript
From a High School graduation certificate, Côte d'Ivoire. Two types of marks: "Coefficient", going from 0 to 4, and "Note", going from 0 to 50. I am interpreting them a sa "Grade" and "Score" respectively, but I am not sure. Anyone familiar with the Côte d'Ivoire school system? I suspect it is modeled after the French.
