GWA ↔ GPA Converter

What is GWA?

In the Philippines, GWA (General Weighted Average) is commonly used in universities to determine a student’s academic standing. The GWA is an average of all the grades a student has earned, weighted by the number of units of the courses taken. GWA is calculated on a scale from 1.00 (excellent) to 5.00 (failing).

What is GPA?

GPA (Grade Point Average) is widely used internationally, especially in countries like the United States. GPA is a numerical representation of a student’s academic performance, usually on a 4.0 scale, with 4.0 being the highest possible score. It provides a quick snapshot of a student’s overall performance over a certain period.
