The GPA Formula
GPA = Total Quality Points ÷ Total Credit Hours
Quality Points = Grade Points × Credit Hours
Weighted courses: Add +1.0 to the grade point value (A in AP = 5.0 instead of 4.0)
For example, an A (4.0) in a 3-credit course = 12 quality points. A B (3.0) in a 4-credit course = 12 quality points. Sum all and divide by total credits.
Tips for Improving Your GPA
Courses with more credits have a bigger impact. Improving a 4-credit course matters more than a 1-credit course.
AP, IB, and Honors courses boost your weighted GPA with the +1.0 bonus and look great on transcripts.
Calculate your GPA at the end of every semester to stay aware of your academic standing.
Use the "What-If" approach to estimate what you need in remaining courses to reach your target GPA.
