Frequently Asked Questions

What is GPA?

GPA (Grade Point Average) is a numerical representation of a student's academic performance, calculated by dividing the total grade points earned by the total credit hours attempted.

What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?

Unweighted GPA uses a standard 4.0 scale where all courses are treated equally. Weighted GPA gives extra points for honors, AP, or advanced courses (typically on a 5.0 scale), rewarding students for taking more challenging classes.

How do I calculate my GPA?

For each course, multiply the grade points (e.g., A = 4.0, B = 3.0) by the credit hours. Sum all the grade points, then divide by the total credit hours. This tool does all the calculations for you automatically.

What if my school uses a different grading scale?

This calculator supports two common grading scales: the 4.0 scale (where A+ = 4.0) and the 4.3 scale (where A+ = 4.3). Select the scale that matches your school's system. Most schools use the 4.0 scale, but some use 4.3 for A+ grades.

Can I save my GPA calculations?

This tool runs entirely in your browser and doesn't save data. For permanent records, you can manually record your calculations or take a screenshot of your results.

How do I add courses to calculate my GPA?

Click "Add Course" to add a new course entry. Enter the course name, select the letter grade, and specify the credit hours. The tool automatically calculates your cumulative GPA as you add or modify courses.

What is a good GPA?

GPA standards vary by institution and program. Generally, a GPA of 3.0-3.5 is considered good, 3.5-3.7 is very good, 3.7-4.0 is excellent, and 4.0 is perfect. However, standards differ between high schools, colleges, and graduate programs.

How do I calculate my semester GPA vs cumulative GPA?

To calculate semester GPA, add only the courses from that specific semester. For cumulative GPA, include all courses from all semesters. This tool calculates cumulative GPA by default - you can clear courses and add only one semester's courses to calculate semester GPA.
