ACT → GPA — Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an official conversion?

No. Schools differ. Treat this as guidance and edit bands to match your institution.

What if I only know subscores?

How does “mild curve” work?

It bends higher scores slightly upward using a gentle exponent, while keeping 0 and max fixed.
