How is GPA calculated?

GPA is calculated by dividing the total amount of grade points earned by the total amount of credit hours attempted. Grade points are determined by multiplying the grade value (e.g., A=4.0) by the course credits.

What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?

Unweighted GPA is measured on a scale of 0 to 4.0 and doesn't take the difficulty of your courses into account. Weighted GPA takes into account course difficulty (like AP or Honors classes) and is typically measured on a scale of 0 to 5.0. This tool currently supports the standard unweighted 4.0 scale.

We use the standard 4.0 scale: A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C- = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, F = 0.0.

What is a GPA?

GPA stands for Grade Point Average. It is a standard way of measuring academic achievement in the U.S. and other countries. Each course is assigned a certain number of 'credits' or 'hours', and your grade is converted to a number (points). The GPA is the average of these points, weighted by the course credits.
