Your country may use a different scale
The bands above are the US College Board scale. Outside the US the same percentage often means a very different grade, so converting with US bands will understate or overstate your GPA:
- In Canada, 80% is an A− worth 3.7 — not the 2.7 the US bands give.
- In the UK, 70% is a First-Class result, near the top of the scale rather than a C−.
- In Australia, 85% is a High Distinction.
- In India, marks are usually reported as a 10-point CGPA instead of a percentage.
