Calculating GPA

Picture

What is a GPA?

  1. GPA stands for Grade Point Average
  2. Your GPA shows the average of your grades in all your courses

Why is your GPA Important?

Colleges, scholarship committees, and employers will judge your application based on criteria including your GPA. If you have a high GPA, it shows you worked hard in high school and will do the same in college or a job. If you have a low GPA, those reviewing your application may think you won’t work hard in college or in a job.

Calculating Your GPA!

Steps

Grade Scale

Step 1: Find your grades that you are wanting to calculate (Quarter Grades, Semester Grades, or Cumulative)
Step 2: Convert each grade to the point value using the scale to the right
Step 3: Add up all the points
Step 4: Divide the total points by the number of classes you've taken
​Step 5: Now you have your G.P.A
A  = 4.0
A-= 3.667
B+= 3.333
B  = 3.0
B-= 2.667
C+=2.333
C  = 2.0
C-= 1.667
D+= 1.333
D  = 1.0
D-= 0.667
