<p>I wasn't sure exactly were to post this, so hopefully this is the right section of the forum.</p>

<p>So I went to my guidance office at school today and got my transcript so I can see how I'm doing so far. I looked at it and noticed that it had a cumulative GPA and a cumulative QPA. Can someone explain to me what a QPA is? Whats the difference between GPA and QPA? Will colleges look at that? Whats the highest QPA you can have? </p>

<p>Oh and also whats the official scale colleges use to convert GPAs that are on the 100 point scale? I have an 86 GPA so far and I look at college board and it said that equals a 3.0 gpa... but when I looked at other sites I got around a 3.4-3.5. Which one should I use?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>QPA never heard of it so I wouldn’t worry. However I would worry about your GPA it is rather low and in order to accurately calculate you would award points for each letter grade A=4 B=3 C=2 F=0. Then you add up your total and divide by the total number of classes. Ex. If I make 4 A’s an 1 B I would have 19 points the divide by 5 and my GPA would be a 3.8. Hope this helps.</p>
