Calculate Your GPA
What is GPA?
GPA (Grade Point Average) is a numerical representation of your academic performance. It's calculated by averaging the grades you've earned in all your classes, weighted by the credit hours of each course.
How GPA is Calculated
Grade Points: A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0 (for 4.0 scale)
Credit Hours: Weight of each course (typically 1-4 credits)
Σ: Sum of all courses
Grade Scale Reference
| Letter Grade | Grade Points (4.0) | Grade Points (5.0) | Percentage Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 4.0 | 5.0 | 90-100% |
| B | 3.0 | 4.0 | 80-89% |
| C | 2.0 | 3.0 | 70-79% |
| D | 1.0 | 2.0 | 60-69% |
| F | 0.0 | 0.0 | Below 60% |
4.0 vs 5.0 Scale
- 4.0 Scale (Unweighted): Standard GPA scale used by most high schools and colleges. All classes are treated equally.
- 5.0 Scale (Weighted): Used for honors, AP, or IB classes. Advanced courses get extra points to reflect increased difficulty.
- Which to Use: Use 4.0 for regular classes, 5.0 if your school uses weighted GPA for advanced courses.
To improve your GPA, focus on high-credit courses first! A grade improvement in a 4-credit course has twice the impact of a 2-credit course. Also, consider retaking courses where you earned low grades if your school allows grade replacement.
