GPA Calculation Tips & Best Practices

The 4.0 GPA scale is most common, but some schools use 5.0 scale to account for Advanced Placement (AP) and Honors courses

Quality Points = Grade Point Value × Credit Hours. Your GPA is Total Quality Points ÷ Total Credit Hours

A cumulative GPA includes all courses taken, while semester GPA only includes current semester courses

Weighted GPA gives extra points for AP, IB, or Honors courses (typically +0.5 for Honors, +1.0 for AP/IB)

Most colleges require a minimum 2.0 GPA to remain in good academic standing

A 3.5+ GPA is generally considered excellent and may qualify for Dean's List or honors programs

Credit hours typically represent the number of hours per week a class meets (3 credits = 3 hours/week)

Some schools use plus/minus grading (A-, B+) which affects GPA calculation precision

Pass/Fail or Credit/No Credit courses usually don't count toward GPA calculation

Keep track of both your major GPA (courses in your field) and overall GPA for graduation requirements
