Is there some kind of "honor" (like suma cum laude) for "doing-well" in English areas
Hello! I am not native English and try to write an English CV for the first time. I have made my A-levels not too long ago, so I wanted to write about how I did in school.
If I wrote a CV in my mother language, I would have written down my grades at the A-levels, the averange of my grades in my last year and that I have recieved an "honor" for students called "ausgezeichneter Erfolg" each year. You get it in high school when the averange or your grade is bellow 1.5 (1=A, 2=B, 3=C,...) and you don't have anything worse than a C your major subjects.
Now I have two Problems:
1) Is there something like this "honor" in English or some way I can translate or explain it?
2) It's easy to say what the averenge of your grade is, when you have numbers as grades, but how can you do that or talk about your grades in General, when the grades are given in letters? Do you even do that or do English-speaking peaple care less about such things than German-speaking People (like me)
I don't want to tell something uninteressting in my CV, so I could let that out, but seeing as I kind of just started to study at a University my school successes are pretty much the best I have.
I am very grateful for every answer!
