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.

Please which country and school,Cos am considering doing a masters covered scholarship in an engineering field

You can check out this thread, it would help.

Yeah i've always tot it was just the normal mathematics calculations, but some guy told me about wes. I checked it out.

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?

Did you finish from University of Lagos?

Did you finish from University of Lagos?

Nah. from University Of Nigeria Nsukka

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!!!

What happened must be very painful to you, but all I'll say is that you should pick yourself up and keep moving and moving.
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

your village people at work.

Looking back at this thread. All I will say is Thanks to God for skills... Not even using this certificate for anything.

People with first in my set still looking for jobs. Most of them asking for ideas.

Life is pregnant!

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

Wow! Thanks a lot for this analysis. So 3.05 should fall between 3.0 to 3.06 on 4.0 scale?

I graduated with 5.3 out of 7.0 GPA scale. If converted what will I have out of 4.0 GPA.
Saw the WES calculation, but I don't understand it.
Can anyone help pls

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
