Question 1

How do I calculate GPA on a 4.0 scale?

Accepted Answer

A standard 4.0 scale GPA matches letter grades to points: A=4.0, A-=3.7, B+=3.3, B=3.0, B-=2.7, C+=2.3, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0. To calculate, multiply course grade points by course credits, sum them, and divide by the total credits.

Question 2

What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?

Accepted Answer

Unweighted GPA calculates grades on a 4.0 scale regardless of class difficulty. Weighted GPA assigns extra points (typically +0.5 for honors and +1.0 for AP/IB courses) to reflect academic challenge.

Question 3

Does GPA include pass/fail classes?

Accepted Answer

No. Classes taken as pass/fail (P/F) or satisfactory/unsatisfactory typically award credits but are excluded from grade point average calculations.
