I am a novice in French and I started just yesterday. a va ?, a va bien ? and comment a va ? all of them mean "how are you / how are you doing ?", "I am doing fine / I am fine". What is the difference between them?

They mean the same thing. They can all be used in casual conversations, but if you're talking to your boss or something "comment a va ?" is a little better ("Comment allez vous ?" if you have to be very formal).

Anyway I answered this one but I suggest you read other answers before asking your question. You'll most likely learn much more with other questions, especially if you're just beginning. Chances are the question you want to ask has already been asked (and answered) by other people !

You didn't use question marks. It's important because in spoken/informal/everyday French it can be the only difference between a question and an assertion (as it is in English I suppose?):

Side note: don't forget there is a difference between using vous (vouvoiement) and tu (tutoiement): -linguistics.co.uk/grammar/tu_and_vous.shtml. Using tu can be considered rude with some people, as using vous can be excessively polite with some people. So in the following, I won't consider this aspect of the language, but only the grammatical form of the question.

The answer a va (or a va bien) can be used with any question type (open (WH questions) or closed (yes-no questions)) and any language register. If you want to be really polite, use je vais bien instead of a va.

I'm applying to universities. I was thinking to translate "mention bien/trs bien" by "with honors" but on my transcripts I had both (on different diplomas), so I would like to know if I can distinguish them

I will, however, point out that those terms work for university degrees. If this is for the BAC, and you use the term baccalaureate diploma (for le BAC, baccalaurat) you can use them. I advise against using "high school diploma" with those terms. The BAC= A Baccalaureate diploma (equivalent to high school plus two years).

This should be treated as specific and technical terminology associated with a particular educations and examinations system, and not translated. You should treat the full qualification name as a proper noun. You would not "Translate" Jacques to James. Nor should you translate Baccalaurat mention bien to "Bachelor degree with honours".

In a Resum or CV you list your qualifications exactly as you received them "A diploma mention bien" And you may indicate by means of a footnote or endnote an equivalence with the local examination system "*equivalent to a diploma with high honours". You do this as a courtesy and convenience to the person receiving your CV.

Just chiming in here, and SEVERAL years too late, but saying that "The BAC= A Baccalaureate diploma (equivalent to high school plus two years)" is absolutely incorrect.The French BAC is a test taken at the end of high school. In the US, for example, we have three years of Junior HS (collge in France) and four years of high school (as opposed to three in France). It all works out in the end to the same number of years in school.
