A = 4 B = 3 C = 2 D = 1 Fail = 0

Assign a number to each class/grade by multiplying the credit hours of the class by the number associated with the grade. In other words, if you received an "A" in a math class that is considered to be 4 credit hours, you'd multiply 4 credit hours times 4 for the "A", giving you 16 grade points for the class. Keep one column that will be the total of the credit hours and another column that is the total of the grade points. After you've calculated the grade points and credit hours for each class, add both columns and divide the total of the grade points by the total of the credit hours.

For example, if you have 100 grade points and 30 credit hours, your grade point average will be 3.33. If you did it right, the total cannot be above 4, and only then if you've received straight "A" grades.

Grade Point Average (GPA) CalculationDivide the total number of grade points passed/earned by the total number of class hours to determine the GPA.

For example, using a 4-point grading scale,

  • A = 4 points
  • B = 3 points
  • C = 2 points
  • D = 1 point
  • F = 0 points

and a 15 semester hour system:

An "A" in a 3-hour Math class would be worth 12 grade points.

A "B" in a 3-hour English class would yield 9 grade points.

Another "A" in a 4-hour Biology class would earn 16 grade points.

An "F" in a 2-hour Sociology class is not worth any (0) grade points.

Latin's 3-hour C provides 6 grade points.

The total number of grade points (43) divided by the total number of class hours (15) is the grade point average: 2.866666.... or 2.87 which is a high "C", "C+" or "B-" according to who interprets it.

If you want to figure out your GPA using your letter grades then you have to figure out the average number point average.

A= 4.0

A- = 3.7

B+ =3.5

B= 3.3

B- = 3.1

C+= 2.9

C= 2.7

C-= 2.5

F= 2.4 or below

to get your GPA add all your grades together and divide it by 6 and you'll get your GPA :)

1. Add all your grades using this scale .

A - 4.0

B - 3.0

C - 2.0

D - 1.0

F - None

2 . Once you've caculated you total, divide it by the Number of classes.

3. That Total is Your G.P.A !!

Here is an example in case your confused .

4+3+2+2+3 = 14

Then divide by Number of classes. 14 / 5 = 2.8 }

2.8 is you GPA

On a 4.0 scale (which most colleges/programs prefer),

A's = 4 points

B's = 3 points

C's = 2 points

D's = 1 points

F's = 0 point

add them all together and divide by the number of classes you took

give yourself 1 point for each D grade, 2 for each C, 3 for each B and 4 for each A, and find the mean by summing up all points and divide by number of courses taken. (Sometimes you have to weigh out the points differently, only when all courses are not worth the same amount of hours toward graduation.

The GPA is the Grade Point Average, used in most American schools. GPA will be calculated at the end of the year by the school, but in the meantime it can be calculated by adding up all of the points and dividing by the number of classes taken.

Since most schools go by the 4 point scale system where an A is 4 points, B is 3 points, C is 2 points, D is 1 point, and F is 0, you add up your class points and then divide by the number of classes. For example, if you took two classes and you got a B and a C, that would be 3+2, that equals 5. Then you divide 5 by 2, and you get 2.5 as your GPA.
