How It Works

1. Direct Linear Scaling

Linear scaling employs a simple mathematical proportion. It transforms your 100-point scale directly into the target scale using the formula: (Percentage / 100) * Max GPA. For example, a 90% on a 4.0 scale yields exactly 3.6.

This methodology is favored by several global accreditation services that value exact decimal precision rather than bracketed step-downs.

2. Standard Tabular Mapping

Tabular mapping assigns discrete grade points to specific percentage brackets. In the highly adopted United States academic system, both 93% and 100% often yield a 4.0 (an "A").

This "stepped" function aggregates performance within defined ranges, which can boost or stabilize final averages compared to pure mathematical ratios.
