"We were deciding between IB and the UK Honours framework for our new undergraduate programme. This comparator gave us a weighted breakdown in under two minutes — it factored in our priority for international recognition and digital compatibility perfectly. The downloadable PDF went straight into our board proposal."

Dr. Yuki Tanaka

"Our admissions team handles transfer applications from six different grading systems every cycle. Before this tool we had a manual conversion table that took hours to update. The student score mapping section is exactly what we needed — paste in a percentage and instantly see the equivalent grade across all six systems at once."

FM
Ms. Fatima Malik
Admissions Coordinator
★★★★☆

"Very clear pros and cons section — it highlighted straight away that CBSE has limited international recognition, which helped us justify the switch to an IB-aligned framework to our management. The side-by-side table is clean enough to include in a presentation without any editing. Would love a seventh scale option for the Australian ATAR system."

Mr. Carlos Herrera
Dean of Studies
★★★★★

"I use this every September when we onboard students from different national systems. The weighted score overview immediately shows which grading scale aligns best with our institutional priorities. The recommendation section is surprisingly nuanced — it picks up on ties and explains what to consider when two systems score equally."
