What does percentage mean?

A percentage is a way of expressing a number in a fraction of 100. It represents how much value is earned out of 100. “ For example, if you score 80% on a test, it means you got 80 correct answers out of 100. Percentages are commonly used to express grades, discounts, interest rates, and comparisons between different values. It will make calculations easier.

How to calculate percentage from GPA?

You can easily calculate your percentage from GPA just  follow some simple steps mentioned below.

FORMULA : 

Percentage = ( GPA min – Min GPA ) / (Max GPA−Min GPA​)×100

Steps to calculate GPA: 

Step 1: Identify your GPA scale and determine your GPA according to it.

Step 2: Then, identify the maximum GPA in your grading system.

Step 3: Identify Minimum GPA usually it is 0, but it is completely based on your grading system.

Step 4: Now, Subtract the Minimum GPA from Your GPA: GPA−Min GPA

Step 5: Subtract the Minimum GPA from the Maximum GPA.

• Max GPA−Min GPA

Step 6: Then, divide result  of step 4 by the result of step 5 to get a decimal value.

Step 7: Multiply your result by 100 and convert it into a percentage.

Example (for a 4.0 scale GPA)

Let’s say your GPA is 3.5 on a 4.0 scale.

• Your GPA = 3.5
• Max GPA = 4.0, Min GPA = 0
• Subtract: 3.5−0 = 3.5
• Subtract: 4.0−0 = 4.0
• Divide: 3.5/4.0 = 0.875
• Multiply by 100: 0.875 × 100=87.5%
• So, your GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale is 87.5%.

GPA to Percentage Conversion on a different scale

The formula to convert GPA to Percentage varies based on the scale used. Here are some common conversion formulas:

1. For 10-Point GPA Scale (Common in India)

• Percentage = GPA × 9.5

2. For 4-Point GPA Scale (Used in the USA)

• Percentage = (GPA / 4.0) × 100

3. For 5-Point GPA Scale

• Percentage = (GPA / 5.0) × 100

What is the difference between weighted and Non Weighted GPA?

The key difference between a weighted GPA and a non-weighted GPA lies in the difficulty of your courses let’s understand them in a more detailed manner.

1. Weighted GPA:

It is based on the course difficulty level.  Weighted GPA provides extra points for taking more challenging courses, such as honors, Advanced Placement, or International Baccalaureate classes. CGPA uses a higher scale than the standard 4.0 scale.

For example, an A in an AP class might be worth 5.0 instead of the standard 4.0. Students who take harder courses can earn a GPA higher than 4.0 on the basis of their performance.

Example: A in a regular class = 4.0, A in an honors/AP class = 5.0

2. Non-weighted GPA:

Non-weighted method does not provide extra points for difficulty level. It treats all classes equally. You will earn the same points for an A in a regular class as for an A in an AP class.

Example: A in any class (whether regular or advanced) = 4.0

Here a is specified as subject.

GPA to percentage calculation in different countries ?

GPA to a percentage conversion varies on the basis of a country and their grading system. Here are some examples of different countries and their grading systems. Let’s understand them one by one.

1. United States (4.0 Scale): It is the most popular method in the US for the calculation of GPA.

GPA to Percentage

4.0 GPA = 90-100%

3.7 GPA = 85-89%

3.3 GPA = 80-84%

3.0 GPA = 75-79%

2.7 GPA = 70-74%

2.0 GPA = 60-69%

Below 2.0 = Below 60%

Formula:

Percentage = (GPA/4)×100

2. United Kingdom : UK universities use a degree classification system, where students are awarded a degree based on their performance:

Conversion to Percentage

First Class = 70% or higher

Upper Second Class (2:1) = 60-69%

Lower Second Class (2:2) = 50-59%

Third Class = 40-49%

Fail = Below 40%

You can use the following approximate conversion method for US universities:

4.0 GPA = 70% and above (First Class)

3.0 GPA = 60-69% (2:1 Class)

2.0 GPA = 50-59% (2:2 Class)

4. Canada (4.0 Scale): Canadian universities also use a similar method to the U.S. system

Conversion to Percentage

4.0 GPA = 90-100%

3.7 GPA = 85-89%

3.0 GPA = 75-79%

2.0 GPA = 60-69%

Below 2.0 = Below 60%

5. Australia (7.0 Scale): Australian universities mostly use a 7-point scale for academic evaluation.

Conversion to Percentage:

7.0 GPA = 85-100%

6.0 GPA = 75-84%

5.0 GPA = 65-74%

4.0 GPA = 50-64%

Below 4.0 = Below 50%

6. Germany (1.0 to 5.0 Scale): German universities use a reverse scale method where a lower GPA means a better grade and a higher GPA means worse grades.

Conversion to Percentage

1.0 GPA = 90-100%

2.0 GPA = 80-89%

3.0 GPA = 70-79%

4.0 GPA = 60-69%

5.0 GPA = Fail
