How the Turkey grading scale works
Turkish universities (under YOK) grade courses with letters (AA, BA, BB, CB, CC, DC, DD, FF) on a 4.0 grade-point scale; instructors convert a 0–100 score to a letter. The overall CGPA is credit-weighted; CGPA 2.00 is required to graduate.
Grade scale
| Grade / range | Meaning (≈ US) |
|---|---|
| AA (90–100) | 4.0 (A) |
| BA (85–89) | 3.5 (A-/B+) |
| BB (80–84) | 3.0 (B) |
| CB (75–79) | 2.5 (B-/C+) |
| CC (70–74) | 2.0 (C) |
| DC / DD (50–69) | 1.0–1.5 (D) |
| FF (below 50) | 0.0 (F) |
Formula
CGPA = sum(grade point x credit) / sum(credits). Because the native scale is already 4.0, the US GPA is essentially 1:1.
Worked example
A CGPA of 3.2 maps to ~3.2 on the US 4.0 scale.
