Understanding GWA vs GPA
In the Philippines, the academic grading system typically uses the General Weighted Average (GWA), where 1.00 is the highest mark and 5.00 is a failing grade. However, many international universities and companies use the Grade Point Average (GPA) system, which usually operates on a 4.0 scale where 4.0 is the highest.
If you are planning to study abroad or apply for jobs that require a GPA format, you need to convert your Philippine university grades accurately. Our GWA to GPA tool does this instantly.
