Here's a link to a US GPA calculator from international grades. I'm not sure if it will tell you what the grade for each individual class would be or just your overall GPA through

https://myiee.org/gpa-calculator.php

If it doesn't give you individual grades for each class, here is a US grade calculator from Brazilian grading systems (it should hopefully have yours on it)

As for general tips, I'm not really sure if there are any. You could try asking counselors or teachers at your school for help though, or at least have them double-check to make sure the grade conversions look correct :) Good luck!

thanks so munch!!! I saw that the common app aks just for the cumulative GPA. Do I have to calculate it using the grades from all my high school or just the last year?? And how do I do that?

could you please like my question? i really would like to get some "karmas" :)

The cumulative GPA is from the four years of high school, so it'll just be your last three years and if you have any from this year yet. I believe you will have to enter each class you took into the calculator and the grade you earned and it will assign it a value out of 4.0, add all of them together, and then divide by how many classes you took to find the average/cumulative GPA
