How to Calculate GPA
GPA, or Grade Point Average, is a standardized measure of academic achievement in schools and universities. To calculate your GPA, each letter grade is assigned a numerical value (quality points). Your GPA is the average of these values, weighted by the number of credit hours for each course.
The GPA Formula:
GPA = Total Quality Points / Total Credit Hours
Standard 4.0 Grading Scale:
| Letter Grade | Point Value | Letter Grade | Point Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 4.0 | C | 2.0 |
| A- | 3.7 | C- | 1.7 |
| B+ | 3.3 | D+ | 1.3 |
| B | 3.0 | D | 1.0 |
| B- | 2.7 | F | 0.0 |
Calculation Example:
Suppose you took two courses:
- Biology: 4 Credits, Grade: A (4.0 points) -> 4 * 4.0 = 16.0 points
- History: 3 Credits, Grade: B (3.0 points) -> 3 * 3.0 = 9.0 points
Total Points: 16 + 9 = 25.0
Total Credits: 4 + 3 = 7
GPA: 25.0 / 7 = 3.57
