Need help determining my GPA

Here’s what I don’t understand about that conversion chart- usually, the way to calculate GPA is just based on letter grades, which is all my school has on the transcript. So even if I had a 94 in a class, that factors in as an A, a 4.0. How is the Princeton review method fair then? At these schools where GPAs are done on an 100 pt scale, is it easier to get an 100 or 99? Because in terms of the number grades at my school, to get an 100 for a marking period would mean that you couldn’t have gotten a single thing wrong for the entire mp, which is ridiculous. We often have assignments, usually essays, given only a letter grade, for which an A (we have no A+) is automatically a 95.
