How to convert an equivalency score into admission points
Applying to college with a high school equivalency credential such as the GED or HiSET raises one awkward question: how many admission points does my score actually turn into? Paste your subject scores one per line as "subject, score", set the minimum your program requires in each subject, then pick the conversion rule printed in the admission policy you are reading.
The credential check looks at every subject separately, because each subject has to reach the minimum on its own rather than being rescued by a high average. The conversion then works from the average of all subjects. Proportional mode measures the average from the bottom of the score scale: the GED is scored 100 to 200, not 0 to 200, so dividing a 165 average by 200 alone would overstate it (82.5% instead of 65%). The page therefore uses (average β scale minimum) Γ· (scale maximum β scale minimum) Γ the points the college allows; enter 0 as the minimum if your college really divides by the maximum only. Anchor mode draws a line through two points from the college table and reads your average off it, and the page says whether your average sits between the anchors or outside them.
No single recognised table exists for this conversion, so this page embeds no college specific table. It only calculates inside the anchors you type. Admission chances, scholarship eligibility and course placement decisions are not supported. The Korean version of this page covers an equivalency examination specific to Korea, where the pass rule works on the average instead.
Frequently asked questions
On the high school equivalency tests used in the United States each subject must reach the minimum on its own, so a single subject below the cut blocks the award even when the average looks fine. Enter the minimum printed by your state or testing program.
Not necessarily. No single recognised table turns an equivalency score into an admission index, so the anchors you copy from the admission policy decide the result and the formula used is shown with it.
Proportional stretches your average against the points allowed. The anchor mode draws a straight line through two points from the college table and reads your average off that line. The same average can produce different points in each mode.
