Frequently Asked Questions
- How is GPA calculated?
- Each letter grade is converted to grade points on the 4.0 scale (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, and so on), multiplied by the course's credit hours. The total grade points are then divided by the total credit hours to give your GPA.
- What is an A- worth on the 4.0 scale?
- On the standard 4.0 scale, an A- is worth 3.7 grade points. Plus and minus grades adjust the base value by 0.3, so a B+ is 3.3 and a B- is 2.7.
- How do I calculate my cumulative GPA?
- Enter your prior GPA and the number of credits it covers in the cumulative section. The calculator combines your prior grade points with this semester's courses to produce an updated cumulative GPA.
- Do pass/fail classes affect GPA?
- Usually not. Most schools exclude pass/fail courses from GPA calculations, so leave them out of the course list unless your school assigns them grade points.
- Is a 3.5 GPA good?
- A 3.5 GPA sits halfway between a B+ and an A- average, which is strong at most schools. It typically qualifies for honors recognition such as the Dean's List.
