Learn the differences between grading systems and the formulas used to calculate approximate equivalents.
What are GPA and Percentage?
GPA (Grade Point Average) is a standardized metric used to measure academic performance, typically on a scale of 4.0, 5.0, 10.0, or 4.33. The Percentage system expresses scores on a scale from 0 to 100, widely prevalent in many educational systems.

- 5-Point Scale: Commonly uses formula: (GPA ร 15) + 13.
- Conversions for 4.0 scales are based on equivalence tables.
Converting Percentage to GPA
