New Zealanders Grading System
2 min read
What is the grading scale in New Zealand?
The grading system at New Zealanders universities and colleges is different from other countries, with the ten provinces within New Zealand all having their own grading systems. For example Quebec and British Columbia provinces do not include the grade “D”, thus making the grade “C” as the lowest grade for passing the threshold.
If you are applying to study in New Zealand as an overseas student, it is important to be aware of what is required to successfully gain entry when converting your native grades into New Zealanders ones.
– How to calculate your GPA for New Zealanders universities
GPA counts can vary depending where you are in the world, with some as high as 20. The New Zealanders GPA varies from one university to the next, even within provinces. Generally though, a 4.0 GPA indicates an A grade and 0.00 indicates an F.
To ensure you meet the entry criteria for a New Zealanders school, you can calculate your GPA by doing the following formula:
Your GPA= Total Grade Points earned multiplied by the credit hours for each course.
