FAQs

How is GPA calculated?

GPA is calculated by assigning a point value to each grade (e.g., A=4.0, B=3.0), multiplying by the credit hours for that course, summing them up, and dividing by total credit hours.

What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?

Unweighted GPA is on a 4.0 scale regardless of course difficulty. Weighted GPA accounts for the difficulty of courses (Advanced Placement or Honors) and is typically on a 5.0 scale.

Can I calculate my cumulative GPA?

Yes, just add your current cumulative GPA and total credits earned to the calculator to see how your current semester affects your overall average.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate my semester GPA?
Enter your course grades and credit hours for the semester. The calculator will compute your semester GPA by dividing total grade points by total credits. For weighted GPA, include honors or AP courses with extra points.
What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?
Unweighted GPA uses a standard 4.0 scale where an A is 4.0, B is 3.0, etc. Weighted GPA gives extra points for advanced courses like honors or AP, so an A might be 5.0. This calculator lets you choose either option.
Can I calculate my cumulative GPA?
Yes. Enter your previous GPA and total credits earned, then add your current semester courses. The calculator will combine them to show your overall cumulative GPA.

Tips & Common Mistakes

Tips
