VPD stands for Verschobene Prozente der Durchschnitt — Shifted Percentages of Average. It converts international grades into the German university grading system.

What is the Modified Bavarian Formula?

G = ((Nmax - Nd) / (Nmax - Nmin)) × 3 + 1, where Nmax is maximum grade, Nmin is minimum passing grade, and Nd is your achieved grade.
