Your GPA
Add each course with its letter grade and credits. Tick honors/AP for a weighted GPA.
Cumulative GPA
Combine this term with your GPA so far.
How GPA is calculated
Turn grades into points
A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0, with + and − adding or taking 0.3 (A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3).
Multiply by credits
Points × credits = quality points. A 3-credit A is 12 quality points; a 4-credit B+ is 13.2.
Divide by total credits
(12 + 13.2 + 6) ÷ (3 + 4 + 3) = 31.2 ÷ 10 = 3.12 GPA.
Weighted GPA adds a bump for harder classes, usually +1.0 for AP/IB and +0.5 for honors, so an A in AP counts as 5.0 (5.3 for an A+ on a 4.3 scale). Schools differ; check your handbook. When combining with a previous GPA, use the same weighted or unweighted basis for both.
Questions people ask
How do I calculate my GPA?
Convert each grade to points (A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, F = 0), multiply by the course’s credits, add those up, and divide by the total credits.
What is a weighted GPA?
A GPA that gives extra points for harder courses, typically +1.0 for AP or IB and +0.5 for honors. An A in an AP class counts as 5.0 instead of 4.0, so weighted GPAs can exceed 4.0.
What is cumulative GPA?
Your GPA across every term so far, weighted by credits. Combine it with a new term by adding quality points and credits from both, then dividing.
What are quality points?
Grade points multiplied by credits. Colleges use them to average grades fairly when courses have different credit values.
Does a pass/fail course count?
Usually not. Pass/fail courses give credit but no grade points, so most schools leave them out of the GPA. Skip them here.
