What the HSC to GPA converter does
The HSC to Grade Point Average (GPA) calculator converts your combined predicted HSC scores into a simplified 4.0 scale GPA format.
This allows you to achieve an overall view of where your academic candidacy stands in comparison to US students. More importantly it will show how competitive you are — or how competitive you can be with further study or tutoring support — in the top US college admissions process.
What is the HSC?
The Higher School Certificate (HSC) is the highest educational award you can achieve at secondary school in New South Wales. Students must complete at least 12 units of preliminary courses and 10 units of HSC courses, including English, to receive the HSC. The HSC is assessed using student assessment marks for school-based assessment, as well as examination marks.
What is the GPA?
US schools use a letter grading system, with a corresponding letter grade, for example an A or B or C. Your GPA, which is measured on a scale from 0 to 4.0, is the cumulative average of the grades in all of your subjects and is calculated by dividing the total amount of grade points earned by the total amount of credit hours attempted.
