Question 1

What grade points does the Saudi 5.0 scale use?

Accepted Answer

A+ is 5.00, A is 4.75, B+ is 4.50, B is 4.00, C+ is 3.50, C is 3.00, D+ is 2.50, D is 2.00 and F is 1.00. These are the most widely used values across public universities (KSU, KAU, Imam, KFUPM, KAUST and others).

Question 2

Which scale should I use — 5.0 or 4.0?

Accepted Answer

Use the 5.0 scale for Saudi public universities, and the 4.0 scale when applying to most private Saudi universities or overseas. The calculator switches between the two without losing your subject list.

Question 3

How are credit hours weighted?

Accepted Answer

Each subject contributes (grade points × credits). A 4-credit subject scored A+ counts twice as much toward your GPA as a 2-credit subject. This is the same formula used by university registrars.
