Hungarian 1-5 Grading Scale

Hungary uses a five-point scale where 5 is best and 1 is a fail. Hungarian institutions typically report both a simple average (átlag) and a credit-weighted index (kreditindex).

Conversion category: Mathematical estimate / normalization

Conversion shown: Average × 20 (normalization estimate)

Conversion note: ELTE uses a five-point grading scale, but there is no universal official 5-to-100 or 5-to-4.0 conversion formula. Average × 20 is only a normalization.

Questions students ask

How does a Hungarian 5-point average map to a 4.0 GPA?

There is no official mapping. Institutions receiving your transcript will usually apply their own conversion, and credential evaluators often use the modified Bavarian formula. Report your Hungarian average as-is and let the receiving institution convert it.
