How It Works

  1. Identify your current GPA (e.g., 3.2).
  2. Identify the maximum scale used by your school (e.g., 4.0 or 5.0).
  3. Divide your GPA by the maximum scale.
  4. Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.

Formula:

Percentage = (GPA / Max Scale) × 100

Why Convert GPA?

Different countries and institutions use different grading systems. While the US typically uses a **4.0 Scale**, many other countries use percentages or 10-point scales. Converting your GPA helps in: - **International Applications**: Applying to schools that use a percentage system. - **Scholarships**: Some awards require a specific percentage threshold. - **Resume Clarity**: Employers may understand percentages better than abstract GPA numbers.

Examples

Example A: Standard 4.0 Scale

Result: GPA: 3.0, Scale: 4.0. Calculation: (3.0 / 4.0) × 100 = 75%.

Example B: High Honours

Result: GPA: 3.8, Scale: 4.0. Calculation: (3.8 / 4.0) × 100 = 95%.

Example C: 5.0 Scale

Result: GPA: 4.2, Scale: 5.0. Calculation: (4.2 / 5.0) × 100 = 84%.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a 3.0 GPA good?

A 3.0 GPA is equivalent to a "B" average or roughly 83-86%. It is considered a solid, respectable grade for most colleges.

How do I convert percentage back to GPA?

Divide your percentage by 100, then multiply by the scale (e.g., 4.0). 85% becomes 0.85 × 4.0 = 3.4 GPA.

Does attendance affect GPA?

Indirectly. While GPA is based on grades, poor attendance often leads to lower test scores and missing assignments.
