Your GPA is the single number that summarizes your academic performance. Colleges look at it, grad schools look at it, some employers look at it. Here's how the math works.
The 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 = 1.0
- F = 0.0
How to Calculate
Multiply each grade's point value by the number of credit hours. Add them all up. Divide by total credit hours.
Example: You got an A in a 3-credit class and a B in a 4-credit class.
(4.0 x 3) + (3.0 x 4) = 12 + 12 = 24 total points
24 / 7 total credits = 3.43 GPA
Or skip the math and use the GPA Calculator. Enter your courses, grades, and credits and it does everything instantly.
Weighted vs Unweighted
Unweighted GPA maxes at 4.0. Weighted GPA gives extra points for AP/honors classes (A in AP = 5.0). Colleges typically look at both, but weighted GPA shows that you challenged yourself with harder courses.
