<p>How does the gpa scale work? I have a 96.7 gpa at my school (unweighted), so what is that equivalent to? Like a 3.8 or something?</p>
<p>Anyone know?</p>
<p>You cannot just translate that to a 4.0 scale. </p>
<p>Let’s assume 90+ is an A, and 80-90 a B. Someone with a 93 average might have had two 93s which would be a 4.0 GPA or 99 and 87 which would translate into 3.5</p>
<p>3.868</p>
<p>:] good job</p>
<p>96.7/100 = x/4.0</p>
<p>Victorino: If it is on the 100 basis point then convert it according to following formula:</p>
<p>[grade on 100 basis] * 4 / 100 = [grade on 4 basis]</p>
<p>96.7 in any subject becomes 96.7/100 * 4 = 3.868</p>
<p>But if your school also assigns a letter grade for each subject then use the letter grade conversion.</p>
<p>
How accurate is that formula? I mean, 30% (clearly an F) would become 1.2 which is like a D+.</p>
<p>At my school 90+ is an A, so does that mean if I have always had a 90 or above final average in each subject than I have a 4.0?</p>
<p>That is why the grade conversion is done using the min max feature too. With that the formula becomes</p>
<p>if [grade on 100 basis < min ] then grade is F which is 0.
if [grade on 100 basis > max ] then grade is A which 4.0
else
[grade on 100 basis - min] / [100 -min] * 4 </p>
<p>so if on 100 basis less than 50 is F, then a 96.7 will convert to
[96.7 -50]/ [100 - 50] * 4 = 3.736</p>
<p>That makes sense, thanks!</p>
<p>Wait so which one is my gpa, 3.868 or 3.736?</p>
<p>no. i dont think it works like that. i agree with b@r!um</p>
<p>A=4.0 B=3.33 etc.
you add it up and divided by total amount of classes. if you had all As (4.0) your average is 4.0.
im from New York and thats how my college counselor explained it.</p>
<p>Thanks, that’s how I thought it worked but I wasn’t sure</p>
