Definition: This calculator converts grade points (typically on a 10-point scale) to equivalent percentage marks.
Purpose: It helps students and educators convert between different grading systems, particularly in educational institutions that use both systems.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The grade point is multiplied by 9.5 (a standard conversion factor) to get the equivalent percentage.
Details: Many institutions and employers require percentage marks for evaluations, making this conversion essential for students with grade point transcripts.
Tips: Enter your grade point (typically between 0 and 10). The calculator will automatically compute the equivalent percentage.
Q1: Why is 9.5 used as the multiplication factor?
A: 9.5 is the standard conversion factor established by many educational boards to maintain consistency between grading systems.
Q2: Is this conversion universal for all institutions?
A: No, some institutions may use different conversion factors. Always check your institution's specific conversion policy.
Q3: What's the maximum percentage possible with this conversion?
A: With a perfect 10.0 grade point, the maximum percentage would be 95% (10 × 9.5).
Q4: Can I convert percentage back to grade points?
A: Yes, divide the percentage by 9.5 to get the equivalent grade point.
Q5: Does this work for all grade point scales?
A: This specifically converts 10-point grade scales to percentages. Other scales may require different conversion methods.
