US/UK GPA Converter
Convert your Zambian GPA percentage into an approximate US 4.0 GPA and UK degree classification.
Enter the “% of scale” figure shown on any of our university GPA calculators (or any percentage mark you already know), and see the equivalent US GPA range and UK honours classification.
Unofficial estimate. This uses standard published percentage-to-classification bands and is meant as a rough guide only - actual grading rigor varies by institution. For official credential evaluation (study visas, US grad school applications, immigration), use a recognized body such as WES (World Education Services) or UK ECCTIS/NARIC.
