The GPA, or Grade Point Average, is a numerical representation of your average scores in courses, typically on a scale from 0 to 4. This is one of the most used grading systems used across different countries.

Now, grading systems vary across educational institutions and countries, each with its unique method of evaluating student performance. 


To calculate your GPA according to the specific grading system, use the GPA Calculator and choose the Grading System.

Different Grading Systems

Here’s an overview of some common types of grading systems:

Assigns grades based on the percentage of points earned out of the total possible points. Example: A score of 85% would typically translate to a 'B' grade.

Assigns letter grades such as A, B, C, D, or F based on performance. Example: An 'A' typically represents excellent performance, while an 'F' indicates failure.

Combines letters and numbers to denote performance levels. Example: 'A+', 'A', 'A-', 'B+', 'B', 'B-', etc., each representing a specific range of performance.

Determines whether a student passes or fails a course without assigning letter grades. Example: A student either receives a passing grade or a failing grade without further distinction.

To convert grades from these systems to GPA, each letter grade or percentage range is assigned a numerical value, typically on a 4.0 scale. See the chart below for a better understanding:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I convert my percentage grades to GPA?

To convert a percentage to a GPA, divide the percentage by 100 and then multiply by 4. For example, to find the GPA for a 90% grade, divide 90 by 100 and multiply by 4, resulting in a GPA of 3.6.

Can I convert my letter grades directly to GPA?

Yes, letter grades can be converted to GPA as the unweighted 4.0 GPA scale is straightforward. Each letter grade corresponds to a specific numerical value. For example, an "A" is 4.0, a "B" is 3.0, a "C" is 2.0, a "D" is 1.0, and an "F" is 0.0.

How can I convert GPA?

To convert your GPA, first, identify the highest possible GPA at your institution or in your country. For instance, if your institution uses a 4.0 scale, then the highest possible GPA is 4.0. Then, multiply your GPA by 100. After that, divide the result by the highest possible GPA. The resulting number is your GPA expressed as a percentage.

How important is GPA for college admissions?

GPA is a crucial factor in college admissions as it provides insight into a student's academic performance and potential. While other factors such as standardized test scores, extracurricular activities, and personal essays are also considered, GPA often carries significant weight in the admissions process.
