Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 4.0 and 5.0 grading scales?

The 4.0 scale is used by most US universities and many international institutions where A+ is ≥ 3.90. The 5.0 scale assigns more points per grade, so A+ starts at ≥ 4.70. Both map to the same letter grades and percentage bands — only the GPA thresholds differ.

What does Summa Cum Laude mean?

Summa Cum Laude (A+ on the 4.0 scale, CGPA ≥ 3.90) is the highest academic honour, meaning "with highest distinction." Magna Cum Laude is the second tier (A grade, ≥ 3.70) and Cum Laude is third (B+, ≥ 3.20).

Are the percentage ranges exact?

No — percentage ranges shown are standard approximations. The exact conversion from CGPA to percentage varies by institution. Always check your university's official grading policy for precise percentage equivalents.
