1. What is GPA Conversion?

GPA (Grade Point Average) conversion from percentage is a method to translate percentage-based grades into the 4.0 scale commonly used in many educational systems.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( Percentage \) — Your score in percentage (0-100%)
• 20 — Conversion factor
• 1 — Adjustment factor

Explanation: This formula linearly converts percentage grades to the 4.0 GPA scale, where 100% = 4.0 and 0% = -1.0.

3. Importance of GPA Calculation

Details: GPA conversion is important for students applying to international universities or programs that use different grading systems.

A: This assumes 100% is the maximum score. Some systems may use different maximum percentages.
