Formula Explained

The conversion from a 100-point GPA to a 4.0 GPA is straightforward. The formula used is:

GPA 4.0 = (GPA 100 / 25)

This formula works because the 4.0 scale is essentially the 100-point scale divided by 25. For example, a 100-point GPA of 85 would be 3.4 on the 4.0 scale (85 ÷ 25 = 3.4).

Note: Some institutions may use slightly different conversion methods, but this is the most common approach.

Worked Examples

Let's look at a few examples to see how the conversion works:

Example 1: 90-point GPA

If your GPA is 90 on the 100-point scale:

GPA 4.0 = 90 ÷ 25 = 3.6

Your GPA on the 4.0 scale would be 3.6.

Example 2: 75-point GPA

If your GPA is 75 on the 100-point scale:

GPA 4.0 = 75 ÷ 25 = 3.0

Your GPA on the 4.0 scale would be 3.0.

Example 3: 60-point GPA

If your GPA is 60 on the 100-point scale:

GPA 4.0 = 60 ÷ 25 = 2.4

Your GPA on the 4.0 scale would be 2.4.
