Why convert a Brazilian grade to GPA?
US universities and many exchange programs use the GPA (Grade Point Average), on a 0 to 4.0 scale, instead of the Brazilian 0-10 scale. This calculator uses a standard reference table to estimate the conversion.
Conversion table used
| BR grade (0-10) | GPA (4.0) | Letter |
|---|---|---|
| 9.0 – 10.0 | 4.0 | A |
| 8.0 – 8.9 | 3.5 | B+ |
| 7.0 – 7.9 | 3.0 | B |
| 6.0 – 6.9 | 2.5 | C+ |
| 5.0 – 5.9 | 2.0 | C |
| 4.0 – 4.9 | 1.0 | D |
| Below 4.0 | 0.0 | F |
Note: tables vary
There is no single official conversion standard — every foreign university (or credential evaluation service, like WES) may use slightly different criteria. Treat this as an estimate and always confirm with your target institution.
Frequently asked questions
Is GPA the same thing as the Brazilian grade?
No — they're different scales (0-10 in Brazil, 0-4.0 in the US), and converting between them is only an approximation.
Is this conversion table official?
There's no single official table; each institution may adopt its own conversion criteria.
What GPA does a 7.0 grade convert to?
Approximately 3.0 (equivalent to a B letter grade), per the table used in this calculator.
Where can I confirm the official conversion for my target university?
Check directly with the institution's admissions office or a credential evaluation service like WES.
