SER BACHILLER

Spanish to English Other Education / Pedagogy Certificado de estudios
Buena stardes. Estoy traduciendo un certificado de estudios de Ecuador. En una parte del mismo dice:

Ha obtenido las siguientes calificaciones/promedio
1.- Promedio del subnivel de Básica Superior
2.- Promedio de los tres (3)años de Bachillerato
3.- Nota de promedio de los exámenes de grado (SER BACHILLER)

Mi intención sería:
1.- Grade Average for Basic Superior Sublevel
2.- Grade average of the three (3) years of High School
3.- Grade Point Average of the Degree Examination

Mi mayor duda sería lo que está entre paréntesis : (SER BACHILLER) que entiendo es un proceso de evaluación que evalúa el desarrollo de los estudiantes al culminar la educación intermedia.

Les agradecería opinaran sobre la traducción anterior y, mayormente, sobre la frase antes mencionada.

"Promedio" lo traduciría como GPA, es decir Grade Point Average, pero las siglas bastan.

Por otro lado las preguntas en Proz deben formularse en minúsculas:

General college admission exam

This was a general exam that high school graduates had to take after completing the last year of high school.

I am from Ecuador and I know exactly what it is. It is not the student's GPA, because the GPA is calculated based on high school grades.

This exam is similar to SAT exams.

"Ser bachiller" is a term used in Ecuador to refer to the national exam that students must take to receive their high school diploma and to gain access to higher education. The exam is called the "Examen Nacional para la Educación Superior" (ENES), which means National Exam for Higher Education.

Therefore, "Nota de promedio de los exámenes de grado (SER BACHILLER)" in Ecuador refers to the grade point average obtained by a student in the national exam for higher education (ENES) which is required for obtaining a high school diploma and for gaining access to higher education.

disagree philgoddard : The chatbot got the explanation more or less right, though it's strangely repetitive, but the translation is wrong.
