Understanding GPA Systems

The Grade Point Average (GPA) system varies significantly across countries. While the US standard 4.0 scale is widely recognized, many countries use different grading systems.

Common International Scales:

US/Canada: 4.0 scale (A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0)
India: 10-point CGPA or percentage (0-100%)
China: Percentage system (0-100%)
UK: Honours classification (First, 2:1, 2:2, Third)
Europe: ECTS grades (A-F)

Conversion Methods

Linear Conversion Simple mathematical scaling, e.g., (Score / Original_Max) × 4.0

Pros: Easy to understand Cons: May not reflect actual academic standards

Standard Table Lookup Uses established conversion tables based on academic standards.
