Short answer

How do I convert Brazilian grades to the US 4.0 scale?

Your AI uses the convert_grade_scale tool to map individual scores from the Brazilian 10.0 system to the US 4.0 system. This gives you a standardized GPA ready for US university applications. You'll see the specific conversion results below.

The results.

What you get from the conversion.

The AI processes your raw data into a format that works for US institutions.

DATA

Normalized GPA scores

The AI uses convert_grade_scale to output a 4.0 scale equivalent for every grade you provide. You get a clean list of converted values.

REPORT

Comparison tables

Your agent can generate a side-by-side view of your original Brazilian marks and the new US values. This makes checking the math easy.

DOCS

Formatted summaries

The AI organizes the converted data into a text format you can copy directly into application forms. It keeps the context of the original course names.

HUMAN

Final verification

You must review the final output to ensure the conversion matches your specific university's requirements. The AI provides the math, but you provide the final sign-off.

The workflow

What your AI does when the grades arrive.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of mathematical normalization.

  1. Data ingestion

    Your AI reads your Brazilian transcript or a list of grades you've pasted into the chat. It identifies the numerical values and the corresponding course names.

  2. Scale mapping

    The agent applies the conversion logic to move each score from the 10.0 scale to the 4.0 scale. It handles the specific weighting required for this transition.

  3. Error checking

    The AI flags any grades that fall outside the expected 0.0 to 10.0 range. This prevents bad data from entering your final calculation.

FAQ

How the conversion works

  • 01

    Does the AI change my original grades?

    No. The AI only calculates the converted values. Your original Brazilian grades remain untouched in your records.

  • 02

    Can the AI submit my grades to a university?

    No. The AI only performs the conversion and formatting. You must manually submit all documents to the institution.

  • 03

    How accurate is the conversion?

    The conversion follows the mathematical logic provided by the convert_grade_scale tool. It is a direct mathematical mapping.

  • 04

    Can I upload a PDF transcript directly?

    The AI can process the text you extract from a PDF, but it does not directly read a file unless your specific AI client has file-upload capabilities enabled.

  • 05

    Does it handle weighted GPAs?

    The tool performs the scale conversion. If your specific application requires complex credit-hour weighting, you should ask the AI to apply those specific rules after the initial conversion.
