yemimajid: bruv, I think you're getting your calculation wrong..2:2 is not up to 3.0 on a 4.0 scale...even 3.6/5 is just 2.9 on a 4.0 scale boss. Dude, go to Google and help yourself with some research on how to convert GPA. Thanks. |

FunnyDude: I checked my result today and I saw a great final Cgpa of 3.41; which to me is still more preferable than having the almighty spill over. My dilemma is that I felt cheated because I worked so hard in the course of my BSc program. I started with 3.75 & 3.58 in my first year, 3.87 and 3.05 in my second year. In my third year I made 3.0 but I had a carry over of a wizard 3unit load course ; even though I later wrote it and had "B" grade in my final year, I believed that is where my Cgpa slumped. My happiness is that, I attended most social events and gatherings in school, participated & won elections in my department, I also had social life abit but never had a relationship. Should I attend the convocation? CC: Lalasticlala , Myndd, Seun pls I need frontpage for this. Did you finish from University of Lagos? |

I just discovered that in today's Nigerian economy sphere even with ur MSc u'r not guaranty any good job or better life. The ability to use ur own initiative and take risk is what can put food on ones table. But seriously, I've lost flare for education after this my first degree anomaly. I also discovered that what we were forced to read in school was someone opinion & thought on a particular subject area; which makes most of Nigerian graduate less productive after school... Streethood has taken over!!! Education is not for me!!! |

With your result you can still apply for Masters, And when you go for service, you should open yourself for self discovery I wish you all the best in your future endeavours |

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. me that finished with 2.76 on a scale of 5.0 what can my cgpa be on a scale of 4.0 if converted by wes? thank you |

Thank you for such a detailed analysis. Even in 2021,the information is still useful. I had 3.62/5gpa, a school in the US converted it internally, and I had 2.91/4 I am persuaded to do WES evaluation atm.. Thank you once again Doyin400l:
