How does uni-assist calculate your HZB grade?

uni-assist converts a foreign school grade to the German scale with the modified Bavarian formula: X = 1 + 3 × (Nmax − Nd) / (Nmax − Nmin). You do not choose Nmax and Nmin; they come from the ZAB assessment published in anabin.

#What the values mean

• Nd: your grade
• Nmax: the best possible grade in your certificate's grading system
• Nmin: the lowest pass grade in that system
• X: the German grade; the formula gives a result between 1.0 (best) and 4.0.

#Rules that matter

• The result is taken to one decimal place and not rounded (it is truncated).
• uni-assist converts the grade as part of its evaluation; in the VPD procedure, the converted grade appears on your VPD.
• If you have to attend a Studienkolleg and pass the Feststellungsprüfung, your overall grade is the mean of your foreign grade and your Feststellungsprüfung grade.
• Don't guess which values apply to Turkish certificates; the anabin data and uni-assist's evaluation are decisive.

#HZB grade is not your bachelor's GPA

The HZB grade belongs to your higher-education entrance qualification (school-leaving level), not to a bachelor's degree. For master's applications, the university assesses your degree and grade itself. Which grade a course accepts is also up to the university.
