The Grade Point Average (GPA) is a U.S.-centric academic metric, generally on a scale of 0.00 to 4.00. It is calculated based on the number of credit hours and grade points received.
The General Weighted Average (GWA) is typically used in the Philippines and parts of Asia. It's computed as the weighted average of grades, with 1.00 as highest and 5.00 as failing.
A common method to estimate GWA from GPA is:
GWA = 5.00 - GPA
⚠️ This is a rough approximation. Always refer to your school's grading equivalency table.
