GPA is calculated by averaging grade points weighted by credit hours.
GPA = Σ(Grade Points × Credit Hours) / Σ(Credit Hours)
Grade Points: A=4.0, A-=3.7, B+=3.3, B=3.0, B-=2.7, C+=2.3, C=2.0, C-=1.7, D+=1.3, D=1.0, F=0.0
Unweighted GPA uses a 4.0 scale for all courses. Weighted GPA gives extra points for honors, AP, or IB courses, typically on a 5.0 or 6.0 scale.
Plus grades typically add 0.3 points (e.g., B+ = 3.3) and minus grades subtract 0.3 points (e.g., B- = 2.7) from the base grade value.
No, courses are weighted by credit hours. A 4-credit course has more impact on your GPA than a 1-credit course.
Requirements vary by institution. Competitive colleges typically look for GPAs of 3.5 or higher, while many state schools accept 3.0 or above.
