Follow these steps to get results in under a minute

01
Select a qualification system
Choose from IB Diploma (1–7), AP (1–5), GCE A-Level (A*–E), CBSE percentage, HSC, or a simple percentage entry. Each system has its own grade mapping and university equivalency.
02
Add multiple qualifications to compare
Enter grades for multiple students or qualification systems using the Add Qualification cards. The tool converts each to the standard university percentage and GPA equivalent side by side.
03
Review the equivalency table and print
See each qualification's equivalent university score range, letter grade, and GPA. The full reference table below shows how all systems map to each other. Print a full report for admissions records.

Dr. Nirosha Jayasinghe
Director of International Admissions
★★★★★

"We receive applications from IB schools in Singapore, A-Level students from the UK, and AP students from the US — all in the same intake. This tool standardises everything to a percentage so we can compare applicants fairly."

CR
Chamari Rathnayake
Admissions Officer
★★★★★

"The side-by-side comparison was the feature I didn't know I needed. When a student asks why an IB 5 doesn't qualify but an A-Level B does, I can show the equivalency table on screen and explain clearly."

Dilshan Fernando
Registry Manager
★★★★★

"We used to have a printed spreadsheet from 2019 that everyone referenced for A-Level conversions. This is always up-to-date, includes CBSE which our old table didn't, and the print report is cleaner than anything we had before."

Anura Perera
Academic Counsellor
★★★★☆

"Useful for student counselling sessions too — I can show a prospective student from an international school exactly what their IB predicted grade means for our entry requirements in real-time."
