Calculate semester and cumulative GPA with weighted grades and multiple grading scales
Calculate GPA for current semester courses with grades and credits.
Example: 5 courses, 15 credits total, mixed grades = 3.42 GPA
Update overall GPA by adding new semester results.
Use case: Track academic progress over multiple semesters
Support for 4.0, 5.0 (weighted), and 100-point grading scales.
Feature: Automatic grade point conversion for each scale
Properly weights grades by credit hours for accurate GPA.
Formula: (Grade Points × Credits) ÷ Total Credits
GPA is calculated by multiplying each grade's point value by the credit hours, summing all products, then dividing by total credit hours.
Unweighted GPA uses a 4.0 scale regardless of course difficulty. Weighted GPA gives extra points (up to 5.0) for AP, IB, or honors courses.
Multiply your current cumulative GPA by total credits earned, add new semester grade points, then divide by total credits including new semester.
Use the credit hours assigned to each course, typically 1-4 credits for most courses. Lab courses may be 0.5-1 credit.
Pass/fail courses typically don't affect GPA calculation. Only graded courses (A-F) are included in GPA calculations.
3.0+ is generally considered good, 3.5+ is very good, and 3.7+ is excellent. Requirements vary by institution and field of study.
Most schools use the highest grade when you repeat a course, but policies vary. Some average the grades or count both attempts.
GPA improvement becomes harder with more completed credits. Early in your academic career, GPA changes more dramatically with each semester.
Most use 4.0 scale, but some use 5.0 (weighted) or other scales. Always check your school's specific grading policy and scale.
Use your school's conversion chart. Generally: 93-100%=A(4.0), 90-92%=A-(3.7), 87-89%=B+(3.3), and so on.
