1. What is GPA?

GPA (Grade Point Average) is a numerical representation of a student's academic performance, calculated by dividing the percentage score by 20 in this simple conversion method.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple GPA formula:

Where:

• \( Percentage \) — Academic score in percentage (0-100%)
• 20 — Conversion factor

Explanation: This provides a quick conversion from percentage to a 5.0 GPA scale where 100% equals 5.0.

3. Importance of GPA Calculation

Details: GPA is crucial for academic assessments, college admissions, scholarship eligibility, and sometimes employment opportunities.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your percentage score (0-100%). The calculator will automatically compute the corresponding GPA value.

Q2: What's considered a good GPA?
A: Typically, 3.0-3.5 is good, 3.5-4.0 is very good, and above 4.0 is excellent on this 5.0 scale.

Q3: Can I calculate GPA for multiple subjects?
A: This calculator is for single percentage conversion. For multiple subjects, you'd need to calculate each separately then average them.

Q4: Does this work for weighted GPAs?
A: No, this is a basic conversion. Weighted GPAs for honors/AP classes require additional calculations.

Q5: What's the minimum passing GPA?
