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.

Here in France, you would say a grade on 20, on 10, on 40 depending on the importance it has on the average grade.
