yemimajid: Pls Note: The name "Kunle" below is a guy who wanted to school in US for his masters. Each 5 point-scale GPA has its own equivalent on the 4-point scale. As the 5-point GPA reduces so does the 4-point GPA. And no, the credit units are not reduced or increased during conversion. The only things changed are the grades and grade units. For eg, FOR WES translation , our A is their A = 4 points. Our B is their B+ = 3.5 points. Our C is B = 3.0 points. Our D is C+ = 2.5 points. Our E is their C = 2.0 points and Our F is F = 0. For WES' conversion list, there are no Ds and Es on their US 4-point scale. All our Ds and Es are converted to C+ and C respectively thus adding extra points to the person's equivalent new CGPA. That's why WES is considered the best. Now, the higher the CGPA, the lower the add in extra points to the final because the 5-point GPA is likely to have more As, Bs and Cs than Ds and Es(the very two which add extra points to the overall). And the lower the CGPA the more the add in possible points from Ds and Es because the person's transcripts is likely to have more Ds and Es than the first example, thus adding a little more points to the person's 4-point CGPA since the many Ds and Es will be converted to higher C+ and C. I'll give you a quick break down of Naija GPAs I've seen converted by WES to the 4-Point scale so you can quickly place for yourself where 3.08/5.0 will land. Nigeria. US 4.10/5.0. 3.53/4.0 4.08/5.0. 3.52/4.0 3.73/5.0. 3.37/4.0 3.68/5.0. 3.29/4.0(Your own conversion. 3.20/5.0. 3.06/4.0(Kunle's conversion) 3.12/5.0. 3.05/4.0 2.99/5.0. 2.99/4.0 2.33/5.0. 2.50/4.0 Look above and see the linear relationship. Notice the falling pattern of the 5-point scale and its equivalent falling pattern on the 4-point scale. Its a linear relationship. Now look at the scale and estimate the range 3.08/5.0 on 4-point scale will fall on? Your guess is as good as mine. @Kunle : remember when you sent in your transcripts to WES for evaluation and you were waiting for it to come out, I told you on bbm that your new CGPA will between 3.05 to 3.10? And when it came out and it was 3.06? You told me when it came out and remember I told you I wasn't surprised that knew it would fall within that range. This was because before then my friend who had 3.12/5.0 had converted his own and got 3.05/4.0. And because your own 5-point scale CGPA, 3.20/5.0 was higher than his 3.12/5.0, I definitely knew your 4-point equivalent will be higher than the 3.05/4.0 which my friend got. Likewise, 3.08/5.0 will be lower than 3.05/4.0 but won't fall below 3.0/4.0 since 2.99/5.0 fell on 2.99/4.0. The range will be between (3.0 to 3.05)/4.0. Observe that its a linear ratio thing. I guess the confusion comes from the fact that the CGPA 3.08/5.0 is second class lower and its 4-point equivalent, 3.0/4.0 is considered second class upper on the 4-point scale. That's how it is. Kunle's 3.20/5.0 is second class lower but also turned out to be 3.06 which is higher than 3.0/4.0 and which is second class upper on the 4-point scale. 3.08/5.0 isn't much different from 3.20/5.0 and should give something close to Kunle's 4-point 3.06/4.0 in accordance to the law of linearity and mathematics. Hence, I don't expect such a huge downward plunge in the new CGPA equivalent, such as 2.5/4.0 to 2.60/4.0 as Kunle projected. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

gemale:Lol, u just made me remember one of my courses last semester.... after reading hard for that course, infact out of all the courses I did last semester, I can say that, that was the only course I really read hard for. You know when u read textbook back to back and u re confident that you will blast the exam?? Only for me to start the the exam and it felt like I wasted all my time reading cos the questions were just out of this world.....after the exam, I told God to pls just give me a C cos at that point sef it felt like I would carry over the course cos the guess work I did ehn. When I was told the result of that course was out, my heart started beating fast like 'what if I carry the course? But God did it and I had a 56, mehn comman see dance of joy.......funny enough, all the other courses that I didn't even read well enough for was Bs and As, only that course that I read really hard for was a C. University exam is not just about how well you read abeg...... |

Medunah: Similar issue I had last semester o. When I entered the hall and I saw the questions, I knew it was a game over. I kept praying that my test should save me. Had 56 too. F comes in many ways. I have F in a course last semester, I wept my eyes out. I decided to complain cos the result had not been duly signed and I was too sure I couldn't fail that course. when I did, it was rectified and I had an A. So a lot of things result in carry over. If I hadn't complained on time or was far away from school or if it had been signed, would have just failed and have extra year and everyone including my family would see me as a failure. This university thing na luck o, whether u good or not. |

Medunah: It happens a lot. Come see as son of man dey weep like baby. I thought I was strong until I saw that result. I concluded that university education is a risk. So many people got affected by other similar issue but didn't get it rectified while some of us were simply lucky. |

davbravo: Bro, it's one thing to write an exam, it's another to get a deserved grade. This thing happens frequently, if I was given an E, I wouldn't have bothered to complain, I would take it as fate but the burden of F was just too much to carry. Getting education in government owned institutions in this country is dangerous. 1 Like |

LARRYDKING:I also had similar challenge in my 300l when a lecturer gave me a 40E initially and submitted it to records , then after sometime he later paste another result of 24F for me for that same course. I was almost at d verge of rewriting it when I checked my online result and saw E again; nobody told me to quickly complain before it was rectify ooo! Assuming I didn't check online I wouldn't have known..Thank God i'm outta d system. Government school is shiiii. |

Solmax: Okay bro. Thanks for the ginger.. I'll Kip my head up and never stop excelling.... I just don't kno y I always struggle in my last semesters. Just like in OND days. My first GPA was 3.34 on a scale of 4.0 (Polytechnic). I had to keep on writing over 3.5 for the remaining semesters to ensure I graduate wit Distinction... finished with 3.59 that time.. It was nt easy... . I believe I can still do it here in OAU wit 2 Semesters left +IT... I must make use of the IT to boost my CGPA.. I pray that I make it (amin) 1 Like |
