Ask HN: How do I show employers that my grades are much higher than they appear?

I have a 3.43 overall GPA, because of classes I took over 6 years ago while I was a history major. Since starting school for CS in the fall of 2012(at a decent public research university), my grades have been much higher than the rest of the class in every class I've taken--I usually end up with grades around 10 points higher than the next highest grade in all of my classes.

All of my professors last semester added a few points to shift the grade distribution over a bit, but since I was the only person in the class who had anywhere near a perfect score without the curve, my final numerical grades ended up like this.

System level programming - 116

Data Structures - 107

Computer Org (Assembly) - 107

Calc II - 100

One of my professors told me that no one has every made a 100 on all of his tests, but in the end I got an A and so did the people who made 20 points lower than me.

How do I show on my resume that I've made perfect scores in every class I've taken since starting back in Fall 2012?
