International Grade Conversion
Grading systems vary enormously by country — percentage scales, point scales out of 10 or 12, and GPA systems that don’t map directly onto the U.S. 4.0 scale. There’s no single universal formula for converting a foreign transcript; the right approach depends on your country and often your specific university’s own policy.

A percentage in one country’s system doesn’t mean the same thing as the same percentage elsewhere — grading severity, pass marks, and distinction thresholds differ by country and even by individual institution. U.S. schools evaluating international transcripts generally look at where you rank relative to your own country’s and institution’s grading conventions, not at a raw number translated through a single formula.
If you are applying to a U.S. school or employer, the most reliable path is a formal credential evaluation service rather than a self-calculated conversion — but understanding your own country’s system first makes that process much easier to navigate.
