FAQ

Are these official UCAS conversions?

No. Universities publish their own equivalency tables; use this output as a directional benchmark and confirm requirements with each institution.

How do weighted GPAs affect the result?

Enter your weighted GPA and its maximum (for example, 4.3 on a 5.0 scale) so the converter preserves your class ranking.

Can I reverse the calculation?

Yes. Divide the target UCAS points by 420 or the desired IB score by 45, then multiply by your GPA scale maximum to estimate the GPA required.

Does the IB estimate include bonus points?

Yes. The IB Diploma score shown runs from 0 to 45 and includes the potential three bonus points for TOK and Extended Essay performance.
