    In my course we only get marked by grade, no percentage. But for MA applications in England and the like they talk about having a 67 or 70 average. I imagine that's around a B+/A- (3.6/3.8), but does anyone know how to convert it exactly? So say if I had a 3.67 GPA, what would that be as a percentage?

    Oh thank you! But what do they mean by calculation point?

    No problem! I think it's for when you are given a grade, not a percentage - the calculation point is the percentage you get assigned to that grade!

    For example, if I do a continuous assessment assignment, and get an 'A-' for it, and it is worth 20%, that percentage will be calculated as (0.20)(71.67) = 14.33% for that portion of marks (out of 20%).

    For example, a 'C' grade in an assignment/exam is awarded to anyone falling in a range between 60% and 63.32%. But all such assigments will actually receive a mark of 61.67% (the calculation point).
