How We Convert Your High School Grades to GPA

–

1. Input Your Grades and Course Information

• Grade Type: First, you need to select the type of grades you will be entering: letter grades (e.g., A, B, C) or percentage grades (e.g., 85%, 92%).
• Course Type: Specify the type of each course (AP, IB, Honors, Regular). This is important for calculating the weighted GPA, as more advanced courses add extra points to your GPA.

2. Grades are Converted

• Letter Grades to GPA Points: If you enter letter grades, our calculator uses a standard conversion scale to translate these into GPA points. For example, an A or A+ is equivalent to 4.0 points, a B is 3.0 points, and so on.
• Percentage Grades to GPA Points: If you enter percentage grades, our calculator converts these into GPA points based on predefined ranges. For example, a percentage between 90-100 converts to 4.0 points, while a percentage between 80-89 converts to 3.0 points.

3. We Calculate Your Unweighted GPA

• For each course, the calculator multiplies the GPA points by the number of credits the course is worth.
• It sums up these values for all courses.
• Finally, it divides the total points by the total number of credits to get the unweighted GPA.

4. We Calculate Weighted GPA

• The calculator adds additional points to the GPA for advanced courses (AP, IB HL, College-level courses add 1 point; Honors, IB SL, Dual Enrollment courses add 0.5 points).
• It performs the same summation and division as for the unweighted GPA, but with the adjusted points.

How We Calculate Your Unweighted GPA

–

1. Convert grades to GPA points

• AP English Language: A- = 3.7
• Honors Maths: B+ = 3.3
• AP US History: B- = 2.7
• Chemistry: B = 3.0
• Spanish II: A- = 3.7
• Choir: A+ = 4.0
• Physical Education: A = 4.0

2. Multiply GPA points by credits and sum them up

(3.7 * 3) + (3.3 * 4) + (2.7 * 3) + (3.0 * 4) + (3.7 * 3) + (4.0 * 2) + (4.0 * 2) = 11.1 + 13.2 + 8.1 + 12.0 + 11.1 + 8.0 + 8.0 = 71.5

–

3. Divide by total credits

Total credits = 3 + 4 + 3 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 21

Unweighted GPA = 71.5 / 21 = 3.40

How We Calculate Your Weighted GPA

–

1. Add weight to GPA points for advanced courses

• AP English Language: 3.7 + 1 = 4.7
• Honors Maths: 3.3 + 0.5 = 3.8
• AP US History: 2.7 + 1 = 3.7
• Regular courses remain the same.

2. Multiply weighted GPA points by credits and sum them up

(4.7 * 3) + (3.8 * 4) + (3.7 * 3) + (3.0 * 4) + (3.7 * 3) + (4.0 * 2) + (4.0 * 2) = 14.1 + 15.2 + 11.1 + 12.0 + 11.1 + 8.0 + 8.0 = 79.5

–

3. Divide by total credits

Weighted GPA = 79.5 / 21 = 3.79
