Weighted average calculated by (Units x Rank) / Total Units

How Grades Are Calculated
High school grades are calculated based on the Weighted Average Method. This means that subjects with higher units (more class hours) have a greater impact on your final grade.
For example, if you get a Rank 1 in a 4-unit Math class, it counts 4 times as much as a Rank 1 in a 1-unit elective class.
Grade Types & Conversions
Our calculator supports various grading systems used in Korean high schools. We convert them into a standard 1-9 rank scale for calculation.
1. Rank (1-9)
The standard relative evaluation system. Use the exact rank documented on your transcript.
2. Achievement (A-E)
Used for specialized subjects or absolute evaluations. Converted as follows:
| Achievement | A | B | C | D | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rank Conversion | 1 | 3 | 5 | 7 | 9 |
3. Traditional (Su-Ga)
Traditional 5-scale grading system.
| Grade | Su | Wu | Mi | Yang | Ga |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rank Conversion | 1 | 3 | 5 | 7 | 9 |
Tips for Accurate Calculation
- Check Units: Ensure the 'Units' (weekly class hours) are entered correctly. This is the most common source of error.
- Semester Sync: Use the "Copy 1st Sem" button to quickly duplicate subjects from the first semester to the second, then adjust only the grades.
- Exclude P/F: Subjects marked as Pass/Fail without a specific grade should not be included in this calculation.
