GPA conversion for a 100 point scale?

I'm having difficulty converting my percentage grades to a 4.0 GPA scale. What's the conversion process like for a 100 point scale to a GPA?

Converting your percentage grades to a 4.0 GPA scale is generally straightforward. While the specific conversion scale can vary slightly across schools, here's a common method of converting percentage grades to a GPA on a 4.0 scale:

1. 93-100% = 4.0 (A)

2. 90-92% = 3.7 (A-)

3. 87-89% = 3.3 (B+)

4. 83-86% = 3.0 (B)

5. 80-82% = 2.7 (B-)

6. 77-79% = 2.3 (C+)

7. 73-76% = 2.0 (C)

8. 70-72% = 1.7 (C-)

9. 67-69% = 1.3 (D+)

10. 65-66% = 1.0 (D)

Keep in mind that the exact conversion scales can vary between different institutions, so it's important to consult your specific school or college for their conversion method. Using this scale, you can simply match the percentage range of each of your grades with the corresponding GPA value and calculate an average to determine your overall GPA. If your school includes +/- grading, make sure to account for those when converting as well.

For example, consider a student with these grades:

Math: 95% (4.0 A)

English: 88% (3.3 B+)

History: 91% (3.7 A-)

Science: 84% (3.0 B)

To calculate the GPA, add the GPA values of all the subjects and divide by the total number of subjects:

(4.0 + 3.3 + 3.7 + 3.0) / 4 = 3.5

In this case, the student's overall GPA on a 4.0 scale would be 3.5. Note that if a student takes more courses in one semester, you would also account for that in your calculation.
