ECTS成绩转换量表是一个界面等级量表，帮助欧洲大学，学生和雇主了解学生的成就水平。因此，ECTS等级可以被视为一个接口，将本地等级转换为一个通用系统，其中a - e表示通过等级。根据定义，ECTS应该将通过考试的学生分成五个组，代表固定的百分位数。本文提出了一种通用方法，将具有不同通过本地成绩的学生分组到ECTS或任何其他评分标准的分组中。它考虑了学生的历史表现，所涉量表所需的百分位数，以及学生群体与以前在同一课程模块中评分的学生群体的相对表现。这种方法可以处理任意数量的相等或不相等间隔的任何规模的本地年级队列，并且它允许按照ECTS的精神在本地年级之间直接转换。
The ECTS grade transfer scale is an interface grade scale to help European universities, students and employers to understand the level of student achievement. Hence, the ECTS scale can be seen as an interface, transforming local scales to a common system where A–E denote passing grades. By definition, ECTS should distribute the passing students into five cohorts representing fixed percentiles. This paper presents a generic method to distribute cohorts of students with differentiated passing local grades into ECTS, or any other grading scale, cohorts. It takes into account historic student performance, the percentiles required for the scale in question as well as the relative performance of a student group in relation to student groups previously graded in the same course module. This method can handle any number of equally or unequally spaced local grade cohorts of any size, and it allows direct transfer between local grades in the spirit of ECTS.
