How the Taiwan grading scale works
Taiwan universities grade on a 0–100 percentage scale and report a credit-weighted average; the passing minimum is generally 60. Leading universities also map percentages to a native GPA, but the percentage is the core record.
Grade scale
| Grade / range | Meaning (≈ US) |
|---|---|
| 90–100 | A+ (4.0, capped) |
| 85–89 | A (4.0) |
| 80–84 | A- (3.7) |
| 73–79 | B+/B (3.0–3.3) |
| 70–72 | B- (2.7) |
| 60–69 | C (1.7–2.3, lowest pass) |
| 0–59 | Fail (F) |
Formula
Weighted average = sum(score x credits) / sum(credits). US band rule (per NTU): 85–100 -> 4.0, 80–84 -> 3.7, 77–79 -> 3.3, 73–76 -> 3.0, 60–69 -> 1.7–2.0.
Worked example
An 82% average -> 3.7 (A-); an 87% -> 4.0 (A) on the US 4.0 scale.
