General Disclaimer

The information and tools provided on Small Study Tools (smallstudytools.com) are for general educational and informational purposes only. While we make every reasonable effort to ensure accuracy, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability or suitability of our tools or the information they produce.

Any reliance you place on tool results or information from this website is strictly at your own risk. We recommend always using our tools as a starting point and checking results against official sources.

Academic Results and Calculations

Our academic calculators — including GPA calculators, grade calculators, CGPA converters and degree classification tools — are based on widely used standard formulas. However:

• Different universities use different calculation methods, rounding rules and grade point scales that may produce different results from our tools
• Degree classification thresholds vary between institutions and countries
• Our tools should be used as a guide and planning aid, not as a definitive statement of your official academic standing
• Always verify your official GPA and classification with your university's student records office or academic registry

Citation and Reference Tools

Our citation generators produce references based on standard Harvard, APA, MLA, Chicago, Vancouver and other style formats. However:

• Citation styles are updated periodically and our tools may not always reflect the very latest edition of each style guide
• Many universities and departments use customised variants of standard citation styles
• Always cross-check generated references against your institution's official style guide or referencing guidelines before submission
• We are not liable for any marks lost due to incorrectly formatted references

Readability Scores

Readability scores produced by our tools — including Flesch-Kincaid, Gunning Fog, SMOG, ARI and Coleman-Liau scores — are mathematical approximations based on sentence length and syllable count. They are useful indicators of text complexity but should not be treated as absolute judgments of writing quality.

Academic writing quality depends on many factors beyond readability metrics, including argumentation, evidence use, critical analysis, coherence and relevance. A high or low readability score does not automatically mean your essay is good or bad — use it as one data point among many.

No Professional Advice

Nothing on Small Study Tools constitutes professional academic, legal, financial, medical or career advice. Information provided through our tools or on our website is for general guidance only. For specific academic advice, always consult your tutor, academic advisor, student services team or the relevant professional.
