How would you convert percentages to a 4.0 scale?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I saw different contradictory conversion tables on the Web for unweighted averages expressed as percentage for American high schoolers whose grades are not reported as letter grades; also, I saw many chance threads where averages are expressed in percentage. Sometimes the student will come from abroad and say what value is an A for them, or how hard it is to obtain the averages they have, but domestic students may not always do so.</p>

<p>Personally I assign the value 3.0 to a 80% average and, in the 60-80% band, each 1% increment results in an increase of 0.1 in a GPA. For the remaining values, here's what I use:</p>

<p>80% = 3.0
81% = 3.1
82-83% = 3.2
84% = 3.3
85% = 3.4
86% = 3.5
87% = 3.6
88-89% = 3.7
90% = 3.8
91% = 3.9
92%+ = 4.0</p>

<p>Then again, I might be completely off.</p>

<p>For my school it is like this:</p>

<p>93%+ is an A (4.0)
90%-92.9% is an A- (3.67)
87%-89.9% is a B+ (3.33)
83%-86.9% is a B (3.0)
80%-82.9% is a B- (2.67)</p>

<p>And so on…</p>

<p>I think it may go this way:
4.0 is a 95
And you add or subtract .1 for each percent- like 3.9 is 94, 4.1 is 96, and so on.</p>
