<p>My school uses the 100 point scale. In order to recalculate the scores on the 4.0 scale, do I just multiply it by 25 ? For example, 4.0 <em>25=100, and 3.0</em>25=75 ? ? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>No. It would be impossible to get a 4.0 if you needed a 100 average. Lol. No one would have 4.0's. </p>
<p>Here is a rough chart for GPA Conversion:</p>
<p>4.0 95-100 A
3.9 94 A
3.8 93 A
3.7 92 A
3.6 91 A
3.5 90 A
3.4 89 B
3.3 88 B
3.2 87 B
3.1 86 B
3.0 85 B</p>
<p>And so on it goes. Hoprefully, your GPA isn't lower. :)</p>
<p>Suggest you try to find the "profile" of your HS....it should include discussion of the 100 scale to 4.0 scale conversion. My son's school (competitive private) has a profile, for instance that converts 90-100 to 4.0, 89 to 3.9 and so forth. So, it really depends on the grading policies of the school.</p>
<p>Papa chicken, theres no mentioning of 4.0 scale anywhere. We just use the 100 point system where all the subjects are averaged. </p>
<p>Cryptic, is that really how it works? ITs a big relief because I thought a 3.9 was 97.5 !</p>
<p>Yeah, most high schools use a scale similar to the one I posted. A scale using 90-100 = 4.0 is very unusual, even for a top private school. If your average is above a 95, I think it would be safe to say that's a 4.0.</p>
<p>what if a grade isn't a whole number? like, if my grade was a 94.5... would you round?</p>
<p>Why don't they just use a percentage rather than the 4.0 gpa scale?
It's unfair that if you have a 92 that you are in the same boat as someone with an 89. The percentage scale is better because it is more precise.</p>
