GPA Scale by Country and School Type

A student guide to 4.0, 4.3, 5.0, percentage, and letter grade scales without claiming official conversion.

Common GPA and grade scales

Schools may use a 4.0 GPA scale, 4.3 scale, 5.0 weighted scale, percentage grades, letter grades, pass/fail rules, or local credit systems.

A letter such as A or B can map to different grade points depending on the country, institution, course level, and transcript policy.

Country and school differences

The United States, Canada, Korea, India, Brazil, Indonesia, and many other systems may calculate GPA, CGPA, credits, and class rank in different ways.

Some schools weight honors or advanced courses, while others treat every course with the same point scale.
