Firstly, I just asked a B.sc Optom. from RAU, South Africa, what her GPA was, she has no idea what GPA means - only that it’s something you hear in U.S movies. I hear that it is being used in NZ now though. Oh, that doesn’t make. So, how do we find some universal rules for spotting a fake? Torture?

What did I study? (Sorry, pedantantic aren’t I)
Christian Ministry, Theology, oooooooooo gasp… Evangelism -
We worked on a tertiary credit system which somehow was exchanged to a GPA by the NZ MOE, just looking at my last set of transcripts for the last quarter, well it appears to be about 18 credits.
Do I fail? 
Honestly, GPA’s were never discussed and never a focus point, but credits for each course were.

Theology
In particular exegesis and hermaneutics Geez, I flunked one paper about idol feasts because the teacher wouldn’t agree that there were idol feasts in the world today… geez, come to Taiwan man. -
To the dorm. We were in the middle of the countryside. Go running. Play hoops. There wasn’t any BEER. Play pranks on other students. Play table tennis in the cafeteria. Listen to preaching tapes. Read the Bible. Prepare sermons. Or we’d go into Auckland city to save souls and talk to the street gangs.
Dunno, that sounds fishy though, not like a regular student eh?! 
I think you are right in general though, but there will always be folks like me that are outside the box.
Do I have some stories though, but… some posters wouldn’t like that.
