Calculating the GPA in countries that don't use the GPA system.
I know it sounds absurd but what do you do if you are in a country that doesn't use the GPS system? The education system here is very shit.
For context, I'm in Sri Lanka, you have one exam that you write at 16, which everyone in the country should write with nine subjects. And it's relatively easy after that you have the exam that you do under a selected stream, either physical sciences, biology, commerce and in that you dive deep into the subjects and it's a national exam, which is very very hard, and you get selected to local universities based on the results of that.
The problem is that the exam is in the middle of nowhere. It's beyond the normal international high school standards it makes you specialise a lot in those subjects and basically I'd say it is the equivalent of the first year of a university.
So if anyone has experienced an issue like this or knows what must be done in this situation, to calculate the GPA or apply with the results of that exam separately and not have a GPA.
Thank you in advance.
