What is GPA and grading scale?
Thursday, January 7th, 2010Every university application will ask for your GPA, or Grade Point Average.
Most will also ask you to supply the “scale” for your grades.
For GPA, you need to put in the average of the marks your received. For example, if you got a 3, 3, 4, 5, 5 in five classes, the average grade you received is a 4.
You also need to provide the scale of those marks. For example, if you got an average score of 4 out of a possible score of 100, that’s bad. If you got an average score of 4 out of a possible score of 5, that’s good!
