How to convert GPA into Percentage?
Hey, you!
Have you been trying to figure out how to convert GPA into a percentage?
Whether you want to know what GPA is, how to calculate it, or the different grading scales under the GPA, this blog has got you all covered!
It's important to note that regardless of whether you're going for further education or work opportunities abroad, converting your high school percentage to GPA is an essential requirement for all students from Nepal.
To calculate your GPA as a percentage, it is important to familiarize yourself with the grading system employed by your institution or country. Once you have done so, you can proceed by following these steps:
- Identify the maximum attainable GPA in your institution or country. For instance, if your institution employs a 4.0 scale, the highest possible GPA would be 4.0.
- Multiply your GPA by 100.
- Divide the obtained result by the highest possible GPA.
- The resulting figure represents your GPA expressed as a percentage.
How to calculate GPA to percentage on a 10 scale?
Many European countries use a grading system on a 10-point scale. The GPA to percentage conversion will remain the same; for every 10 points on a percentage scale (100/10), there is one point on the 10-point scale.
Hence, the formula remains: GPA = (percentage/100) x 10, or GPA = percentage divided by 10.
Here’s an example: If your GPA is 6.5 on a scale of 10, then your percentage would be 10 x 6.5 = 65%.
GPA to Percentage in a 4.3 Scale
- Formula: Percentage = (GPA / 4.3) × 100
- Example: If your GPA is 3.5 on a 4.3 scale, calculate your percentage as follows:
- Percentage = (3.5 / 4.3) × 100 = 81.4%
- Therefore, a GPA of 3.5 on a 4.3 scale is equivalent to 81.4% on a percentage scale.
GPA to Percentage out of a 5.0 Scale
- Formula: Percentage = (GPA / 5) × 100
- Example: If your GPA is 4.0 on a 5.0 scale, calculate your percentage as follows:
- Percentage = (4.0 / 5) × 100 = 80%
- Therefore, a GPA of 4.0 on a 5.0 scale is equivalent to 80% on a percentage scale.
Percentage out of a 4.0 Scale
- Formula: Percentage = GPA × 20
- Example: If your GPA is 3.5 on a 4.0 scale, calculate your percentage as follows:
- Percentage = 3.5 × 20 = 70%
- Therefore, a GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale is equivalent to 70% on a percentage scale.
3.5 GPA as a Percentage
- Formula: Percentage = GPA × 20
- Example: Calculating a GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale:
- Percentage = 3.5 × 20 = 70%
- Thus, a 3.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale is equivalent to a 70% percentage.
How to Calculate GPA?
Understanding GPA and its calculation:
Calculating your GPA (Grade Point Average) is a straightforward process that helps you assess your academic performance. Here’s a simplified guide on how to calculate it using the common 4.0 scale system:
- Write down all the courses you're including in the GPA calculation.
-
Each letter grade you receive corresponds to a numerical value on a scale, typically up to 4.0. Here's a common scale:
- A = 4.0
- B = 3.0
- C = 2.0
- D = 1.0
- F = 0.0
- Each course has a credit value, often reflecting the number of hours spent on the course per week.
- Multiply the grade point for each course by its credit value. For example, if you have an A (4.0) in a 3-credit course, you multiply 4.0 by 3 to get 12.0.
- Add up all the weighted scores you calculated in the previous step.
- To find your GPA, divide the total from step 5 by the total number of credits for all courses.
Here’s a formula:
GPA = Sum of (Grade Points × Course Credits) / Total Course Credits
This calculation will give you your GPA on a 4.0 scale. If your school uses a different scale, such as a 5.0 scale or a 100-point scale, you'll need to adjust the grade points accordingly.
How do you convert GPA to percentage in the UK?
With many Nepali students heading to universities in Great Britain, understanding and familiarising oneself with the UK's grading system is essential. It is necessary to figure out how one's GPA can be converted into a percentage in order to apply for higher education within this rainy country.
In England, GCSE exam results are graded on a scale of 1 to 9. Across the UK, universities use an A-F grading system to assess the academic achievement of their students. This can be a little confusing for students moving there for higher education.
Here are two essential steps to convert GPA to percentage in the UK:
- Find out the scale used for GPA at your institution. In the US, the typical scale is 4.0, while in the UK it may range from 0 to 5—or even 7—depending on the institution.
- Convert the GPA to a scale of 100 by multiplying it by 25. For example, a GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale would be equivalent to a percentage of 87.5 (3.5 x 25).
How do you convert GPA to percentage in the USA?
In the USA, the GPA (grade point average) system is commonly used to assess student performance, and it is based on a scale of 0 to 4.0. To convert a GPA to a percentage, you can use the following steps:
- Multiply the GPA by 25. This will give you a number on a scale of 0 to 100.
- Round the result to the nearest whole number.
- Add a percentage symbol (%) to the end of the number to indicate that it is a percentage.
Therefore, a GPA of 3.5 would be equivalent to a percentage of 88%.
