Add each course's grade and credit hours to see your weighted GPA on the standard 4.0 scale.
Each letter grade converts to a grade point on a 4.0 scale. Multiply each course's grade point by its credit hours, add them all up, then divide by the total credit hours — that's your weighted GPA.
| Grade | Points | Grade | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 4.0 | C+ | 2.3 |
| A- | 3.7 | C | 2.0 |
| B+ | 3.3 | C- | 1.7 |
| B | 3.0 | D+ | 1.3 |
| B- | 2.7 | D | 1.0 |
| F | 0.0 | — | — |
GPA is the sum of (grade points × credit hours) for every course, divided by the total credit hours. Each letter grade maps to a grade point value on a 4.0 scale (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, and so on).
A 3.0 GPA (B average) is generally considered solid, 3.5+ is strong, and 3.7+ is often needed for competitive scholarships or graduate programs. Standards vary by school and country.
