Probably about a 65-70 average or so, but I can never remember the exact conversion. Just search around for a conversion. Australian unis have something like 80+ = 7.0, 75-80 = 6.5, 70-75 = 6.0, and so on.

do you know if this is a fairly hard score to get, like 70%? Doesnt sound much, but then again, uni work is pretty hard.

It's not insanely difficult. If you put in the work, you should get it.

Different universities use completely different systems 4 calculating GPA.
For instance, Monash operates with a GPA of 0-4, instead of 0-7.

Ppl will look @ my GPA on my transcript and think I absolutely suck, when in reality I'm not *that* bad XD XD

As 4 GPA in general, wikipedia tells all:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPA_in_Australia

On the 0 - 7 scale, for 5.5 u'd want 2 b getting in the range of High Credits, Low Distinctions.
This is definitely do-able :)
