Rounding of averages is generally done to the second decimal; hence, a 3.95 is rounded up to a 4.0, whereas a 3.94 is rounded down to a 3.9.
Usually in higher level education such as university degrees, 80% of the passing grades are in the 4.5 - 5.4 range and a grade exceeding 5.0 is normally considered "good". This is different from the U.S. higher level education grading, where highly competitive students have A grades.
An overall GPA in university degrees that ranges from 5.5 to 5.9 is uncommon and is considered a "very good" academic standing. Exceeding 6.0 is considered "high academic excellence", and is very rare for an overall GPA.
