how do i convert my gpa?
Answered

i'm a 11th grader from turkey and our country uses the percent grading system. in my freshman year my gpa was 95.5 percent, in my sophomore year it was 97.02 percent and currently my junior year gpa is 98.9 percent. i tried to convert my gpa by entering every single class i had and their grades at the end of the semester and the algorithm calculated my gpa as 3.93, did i do this the right way? or since the average of all of my classes' end-of-semester grades are over 93 is my gpa a solid 4.0? i'm confused and i could use a little help. thank you very much.

So Im not familiar but for every class let's say you get a 91 using the standard scale that's a 4.0 but its also a 4.0 if you get all 100s. A 90 is 4 B 80 et cetera then you'd average it assuming equal credit.

Hope this helps and feel free to ask for clarification.

first of all thank you for replying! most of my classes have different credits, by the way is credit the amount of hours you are taught that class per week?, for example we are taught math 6 hours a week whereas literature is only 5. so when i get a different grade at the end of every semester for these classes don't they affect my gpa differently? i have 2 seperate semesters for my freshman year but because of covid the schools weren't open in my sophomore years second semester so our-

-government just calculated our gpa from our first semester grades. when i'm calculating my gpa should i consider my sophomore year as a two semester year and enter my sophomore year gpa twice? if i don't count that semester i have finished 4 semesters (i'm in the second semester of my junior year) and at the end of all semesters my gpa was above 93 percent. does that make my gpa a 4.0? i apologize if i bombarded you with questions, thank you so much for helping.

So typically credits are per hour but it’s not always that so I’d double check. So yes assuming that they care about credits an A in one wouldn’t be the same as an A in the other.

Fir the semsters you’d typically average every semster so if you don’t have a semster that semster wouldn’t count from my understanding.

hello! first of all thank you for trying to help out, i appreciate it. i tried to calculate my gpa by using the site you recommended. it's great that it has percentage system but i don't think it has enough credits for my classes? to clarify, for example we see math 6 times a week at least that's what it says in my transcript, i think its credit is 6 but this site only has up to 5.5? am i doing something wrong? aren't credits hours of that class you are taught per week? thank you for help!

Hi,

Your GPA is a 4.0.

If you add up all the percentages from each garde and divide by 3 you will get your average percentage for all 3 years. If you maintain a 93 percent average or higher, your GPA is 4.0.

You can also search up “percentage to GPA” and it should give you some tables to help convert.

Hope this helps!

first of all thank you for responding! i have a few questions in my mind if that's okay. do i calculate my gpa by entering end of semester grade for every class or do i just take the average of all of my classes' grades? and what if my classes' grades are different? for example my math class has more credits than the rest and if my end of semester grade is let's say 88 for math and 99 for literature won't my math class affect my gpa negatively? i'm not used to this scale of gpa since it's not-
