Achieved Gaokao score divided by the applicable provincial maximum; institution and programme gates remain separate.
NTU · verified 2026-08-14 ↗METHODOLOGY
A clear score requires clear rules.
SCHOLENS reports readiness and fit. It does not claim to reproduce a university’s private selection process or guarantee admission.
The 100-point preliminary model
The public calculator uses a stable five-factor framework. Programme-level reports replace generic weights with verified prerequisites and qualification-specific rules.
Academic performance
45 pointsNormalised performance on the student’s original grading scale, with curriculum context retained.
Relevant-subject readiness
20 pointsThe subjects required or materially relevant to the selected programme family.
English readiness
15 pointsVerified language result or a provisional self-reported equivalent.
Qualification fit
10 pointsWhether the qualification supports direct entry, requires a pathway or needs further equivalency review.
Evidence confidence
10 pointsDocument completeness, source quality, recency and whether results are predicted or final.
COUNTRY QUALIFICATION RULE LIBRARY
What the engine can calculate—and where it must stop.
Verified rules can calculate a gate. Partial rules require review. Queued rules return “insufficient data” instead of inventing a cross-country GPA.
Origin / qualificationStatusMethodOfficial evidence
Preserve the original percentage scale and course profile; never label it an official 4.0 GPA.

How GPA conversion will work
SCHOLENS does not simply divide one GPA by another scale. The production engine retains the original grading system, identifies passing and top-grade thresholds, maps individual course results, separates relevant subjects and shows the converted output alongside the original record. Where an institution publishes its own conversion rule, that rule takes priority and is cited.
