A percentage of 80 to 84 typically corresponds to a GPA of 3.3 to 3.6 on the 4.0 scale, which is an A-. On a 5.0 scale it is typically 4.0 to 4.4, and on a 10.0 scale typically 8.0 to 8.4. Formula-based results can be lower.
If your marks fall between 80% and 84%, your GPA on the 4.0 scale is typically 3.3 to 3.6, which is an A-. The same band lands at different values on other scales, and the 5.0 and 10.0 equivalents vary by institution.

Things to Keep in Mind
- GPA can be weighted or unweighted, and the scale you use changes the result.
- Pick the scale your target university asks for before you convert.
- Treat the band as an indicative letter-grade style reference, since a straight formula (percentage / 100 x 4) gives lower values, for example 3.2 for 80%. Conversions vary by institution, so compute your exact figure with a formula.
My Advice
Find your band in the table, note the matching GPA and then confirm the scale your university prefers. This table is a guide, so check the official page of each university for how it reads grades.
