I've always been more familiar with percentage grades and not GPA, but as college applications approach, that's changing. Does anyone know how a 92 average generally converts to a GPA score? It'd be super helpful!
Many schools apply a conversion method where percentage grades are mapped to a 4.0 scale. However, different schools or school districts may have varying standards on these conversions.
According to many conversion charts, a 92% average typically translates to approximately a 3.7 GPA when weighted. This is an A- average using a standard grading scale where 90%-92% corresponds to an A-. GPA scales typically count anything between 3.7-3.9 as an A-. If this particular conversion is done by your high school, then your GPA would be good.
Nonetheless, be sure to check with your school or school district to identify their specific conversion metrics as my response is based on typical conversions.
