Help required to decode 83 in GPA

Hey guys, I’ve got a question that’s really messing with me right now. I've scored an 83 in one of my courses, but what does this mean in GPA format? I've seen a few different scales and now I'm a little lost.

Sure, I can definitely help with that! GPA conversion scales can indeed be quite tricky. An 83% grade typically correlates with a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale. However, it's worth keeping in mind that the exact conversion can vary between institutions and countries. For instance, Canadian GPA conversion scales and American GPA conversion scales are slightly different. Some high schools may also utilize slightly different grade conversions, so it’s always a good idea to double-check at your school just to be sure.
