GPA question: How do you convert from 0-100 scale?

<p>I know that my unweighted average is about 92/93. What is this on a 4.0 scale? How do you figure that out?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>a 92/93 is like 3.9</p>

<p>Oedipus..what's a 97 then..like a 4.0.</p>

<p>at my high school the 92/93 would be a 3.5 (B+). At my college it's a 3.7 (A-)</p>

<p>Err I always thought that to convert from the 100 pt scale to the 4 pt scale you simply divide by 100 and then multiply by for.. so a 92% would be a 3.68.</p>

<p>they can't be converted, they are completely different measurements.</p>

<p>Try converting centimeters to pounds!</p>

<p>I suppose they can be approximated...but there is not set conversion.</p>

<p>At my school, a 92 would be an A, so it might be a 4.0. But points are granted by having an A or B or whatever in the class, not overall, so if you have a 92 from all A's, it'd be a 4.0, but if you got some higher A's but also a few B's along the way, you'd have a lower GPA.</p>

<p>just use the COLLEGBOARD scale</p>

<p>How</a> to Convert Your GPA to a 4.0 Scale</p>

<p>A+ (97-100) = 4.0
A (93-96) = 4.0
A- (90-92) = 3.7</p>

<p>B+ (87-89) = 3.3
B (83-86) = 3.0
B- (80-82) = 2.7</p>

<p>C+ (77-79) = 2.3
C (73-76) = 2.0
C- (70-72) = 1.7</p>

<p>D+ (67-69) = 1.3
D (65-66) = 1.0
E/F (below 65) = 0.0</p>

<p>If you want an accurate conversion, you have to convert all grades individually and then calculate your GPA from there. Converting just the GPA doesn't work because as KrazyKow pointed out, a 93 average might be a 4.0 if you got 93s everywhere or it might be a 3.5 if it's a mix of 96s and 89s.</p>

<p>Grade Percentage GPA value
A --- 100 - 90 --- 4.0-3.5
B --- 89 - 80 --- 3.49-2.5
C --- 79 - 70 --- 2.49-1.5
D --- 69 - 60 --- 1.49-1.0
F --- Below 60 --- 0.0</p>

<p>Note:
A '+' means .33333 added to the whole number.
A '-' means .6667 added to the whole number.</p>

<p>Each school is different. My school for example doesn't use A+. Some schools do.</p>

<p>you could convert them mathematically by bringing it into the required fraction but every school has a different rigor of scoring, that's where the problem lies.</p>

<p>This is a great site for converting grades to a 4.0 US scale according to your country of education:

<p>all of you suck at math</p>

<p>get the number your interested and multiply it times 0.04</p>

<p>there you go.</p>

<p>92*0.04 = 3.68</p>

<p>if your school reports your gpa out of a hundred this is how you convert</p>

<p>Rsala, that’s incorrect. You’re saying that a 75 warrants a 3.0 gpa, and 65 gets you a 2.6. It’s not that simple.</p>

<p>You can go by the collegeboard conversion chart for the most part.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>nice calling everyone stupid, but you are wrong.</p>

<p>If you really want a formula, here is one, calibrated against x5’s being x.0…</p>

<p>((grade - 65) / 10) + 1</p>

<p>A formula that converts a 100% into a 4.5? Interesting…</p>

<p>In all fairness, there is no simple (i.e. linear) formula that converts both a 100 and a 97 into a 4.0. Your best bet would be a conversion table, or a formula involving a step function.</p>

<p>i agree with rsala004 because you guys have to realize that there are other numbers or gpa averages that come before 65 like 55 or 45 i mean no one may never get that low but they still exist. also no one really has a 4.0 gpa unless you average is an 100 so that college board roughly scaled gpa calculations, that says 93-96= 4.0 is a bunch of BS so technically it is that simple</p>

<p>^That makes no sense. If your school doesn’t give GPA on a scale of 1-100, and does it on basis of letter grades, then you could have the lowest grade necessary for an A (92 or 94 or whatever) and still get an A, and thus have a 4.0. Therefore, you could have an average of 93 or something, but have a 4.0.</p>

<p>anyone want to convert my 94.52 gpa?</p>
