China uses a percentage grading system (0-100) where 60 is passing. Many Chinese universities now also use their own 4.0 or 5.0 internal scales. This converter maps the standard Chinese percentage system to US GPA equivalents using common credential evaluation tables.
| China % | US GPA |
|---|---|
| 90-100 | 4.0 |
| 85-89 | 3.7 |
| 82-84 | 3.3 |
| 78-81 | 3.0 |
| 75-77 | 2.7 |
| 72-74 | 2.3 |
| 68-71 | 2.0 |
| 64-67 | 1.7 |
| 60-63 | 1.0 |
| Below 60 | 0.0 |
The Chinese higher education system primarily uses a 100-point percentage scale. A score of 90 or above is considered excellent (You Xiu), 80-89 is good (Liang Hao), 70-79 is medium (Zhong Deng), 60-69 is passing (Ji Ge), and below 60 is failing. Some Chinese universities have adopted their own 4.0 or 5.0 GPA systems, but the percentage scale remains the standard for official transcripts. The Gaokao (college entrance exam) is separate from university grades and is not converted to GPA.
