    A-LEVEL TO GPA CONVERTER

    A-Level to GPA Converter (Estimate)

    Enter your A-Level grades to get an estimated GPA on a 4.0 scale. There is no official A-Level-to-GPA formula; this is a planning estimate based on Petra's stated assumptions. The table is published below.

    Everything you type is calculated in your browser only. Nothing is sent or stored, and no email address or contact details are needed.

    Enter your subjects and grades

    Choosing a board lists that board's subjects first. If you are not sure, leave it on "Other / not sure"; the tool works either way.

      Click a field to see suggestions. If your subject is not listed, just type it. The subject name does not affect the calculation.

      How it works and what it assumes

      There is no official worldwide correspondence between A-Level grades and a US-style GPA. This tool replaces each grade with the grade points in the table and takes a simple average. A* and A both count as 4.0. E sits between D and U at 0.5, which is a Petra assumption.

      The weighted estimate adds 1.0 to each passing subject before averaging, treating A-Level as comparable in difficulty to AP or IB HL. That is also a Petra assumption. AS-Level is not covered.

      Reading your result

      The number is a rough guide to how A-Level results might look on a US-style scale. UK universities state their conditions as predicted and achieved grades, not GPA.

      If you apply to a US or other university, each one has its own treatment of A-Levels. What the university publishes takes priority over this tool.

      What this tool cannot tell you

      • This conversion is not official. A university's or evaluator's assessment always takes priority.
      • AS-Level, GCSE, differences in subject difficulty and differences between boards (Cambridge, Pearson Edexcel, AQA, OCR and others) are not reflected.
      • The result does not indicate admission or scholarship outcomes.

      Frequently asked questions

      Questions we are often asked about reading the result.

      Why are A* and A both 4.0?

      Many US-style conversions treat both as the top grade. Some universities distinguish them, so this assumption is not the only valid one.

      Can I use a converted A-Level GPA on an application?

      Universities normally evaluate A-Levels as they are. If a conversion is needed, follow the method your school or the university specifies. This value is only a guide.

      Can I enter AS-Level grades?

      No. This tool covers A-Level grades only, not AS-Level.
