How to use

To accurately calculate your Vietnamese GPA, start by entering your scores for each subject based on the 10-point scale. Ensure you correctly match each score with its corresponding subject credits, as higher credit subjects carry more weight. You can add as many subjects as needed. The calculator will automatically multiply each score by its credits, sum the totals, and divide by the total number of credits to yield your cumulative GPA. It also converts this 10-point score into the widely recognized 4.0 scale and provides your academic classification (e.g., Excellent, Good, Average) according to standard Vietnamese university guidelines.

How it's calculated

GPA (4-Point Scale)

(score >= 8.5) * 4.0 + (score >= 7.0) * (score < 8.5) * 3.0 + (score >= 5.5) * (score < 7.0) * 2.0 + (score >= 4.0) * (score < 5.5) * 1.0

4-point GPA equivalent: 8.5–10 → 4.0 (A), 7.0–8.4 → 3.0 (B), 5.5–6.9 → 2.0 (C), 4.0–5.4 → 1.0 (D), below 4.0 → 0.0 (F)

Examples

Score 8.5 → GPA 4.0 (A, Excellent)

Score (10-Point Scale):8.5

Result

GPA (4-Point Scale):3.3
gpa_10:8.2
classification:Giỏi (Good)

A student with a mix of 8s and 9s across several 3-credit courses achieves a cumulative score of 8.2 on the 10-point scale. This converts to approximately 3.3 on the 4.0 scale, earning them a 'Giỏi' (Good/Very Good) classification.

Score 7.0 → GPA 3.0 (B, Good)

Score (10-Point Scale):7

Result

GPA (4-Point Scale):2.5
gpa_10:6.8
classification:Khá (Fair)

Averaging around 6.5 to 7.0 results in a 6.8 GPA on the 10-point scale. This converts to a 2.5 on the 4.0 scale, classifying the student's academic performance as 'Khá' (Fair).

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Vietnamese 10-point to 4-point GPA conversion work?

Vietnamese universities use a 10-point scale. The standard conversion to the 4-point scale is: 8.5–10 → 4.0 (A, Excellent/Good), 7.0–8.4 → 3.0 (B, Good), 5.5–6.9 → 2.0 (C, Average-Good), 4.0–5.4 → 1.0 (D, Average), 0–3.9 → 0.0 (F, Weak/Poor). Note that some universities may use slightly different thresholds.

What GPA do I need for a scholarship in Vietnam?

Most Vietnamese university scholarships require a GPA of at least 3.2 on the 4-point scale (equivalent to roughly 8.0+ on the 10-point scale). Government scholarships and prestigious awards typically require 3.6–4.0 (8.5+ on the 10-point scale). Always check the specific scholarship criteria.

How is Vietnamese GPA recognized internationally?

When applying abroad, most foreign universities and employers accept the 4-point GPA conversion. A 3.0/4.0 (B, Khá) is generally considered equivalent to a 'Good' degree internationally. Some institutions may request an official transcript with the original 10-point scores for verification.

How is the 10-point scale converted to the 4.0 scale?

Typically, universities use a mapping system where 8.5-10 corresponds to an A (4.0), 7.0-8.4 is a B (3.0), 5.5-6.9 is a C (2.0), and 4.0-5.4 is a D (1.0). This calculator uses standard conversion tables recognized by the Ministry of Education and Training.

Does a retake override the previous low score?

In most Vietnamese universities, if you retake a course, the highest score is kept for the cumulative GPA calculation, while the lower score may still appear on your transcript. Check your specific university's academic regulations to be sure.

Vietnamese Lunar Age Calculator (Tuổi Mụ & Tuổi Ta)

Calculate both Vietnamese age systems from your birth year. Tuổi ta (tuổi đời) is the standard calendar age: current year minus birth year. Tuổi mụ is the traditional Vietnamese lunar age, which counts the birth year itself as year 1 — so a person born in 1990 is already 1 year old at birth and turns 2 on the next Lunar New Year. Tuổi mụ is commonly used in traditional ceremonies, paperwork, and cultural contexts in Vietnam.
