How it works
Start at 4.0 for the top percent, then subtract the points lost for every percent below it. The result is kept between 0 and 4.
The defaults give a 4.0 at the top percent and fall by one tenth of a point for each percent below it. Use your school's numbers if they differ.
Worked example
A percent grade of 84 on this scale is a GPA of 3.4.
Questions
Is a straight line the same as cutoffs?
No. Cutoffs jump at set percents, while a straight line moves a little with every percent. Check which one your school uses.
What percent should earn a 4.0?
Many schools use 90 or 93, but it varies. Enter the figure from your grading policy.
Why is the result never above 4?
The result is capped at 4.0 at the top and at 0 at the bottom, so it stays on the usual scale.
