How do you figure GPA?

Answer 1

GPA stands for Grade Point Average. How that average is figured or used, I don't know.

AnswerGPA is an acronym for Grade Point Average.

It is used in high school to determine student rank. Colleges use it to determine if they want to allow students to attend their college. They may have a minimum GPA requirement for a student to be accepted. The better the GPA the better grades were in school.

It is figured by giving a score to each of the letter grades. A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, and F = 0.

Example: A student has the following grades for one semester of school.

A, A, B, C, A, D, F . You would add the scores for each of the letters grades which would be 18 points and divide it by how many grades were given (in this . case 7). 18/7 = 2.57. The GPA for this particular semester is a 2.57.

Colleges like to see the higher GPA's like a 3.5 or better. A GPA of 4.0 would mean all A's.

Answer 2

GPA stands for Grade Point Average - it's a way to figure out how well you are doing academically overall while accounting for the relative difficulty and time investment of different classes.

You will need to have a list of all grades you have received, the number of credits each class was worth and your school's grading policy. Start by reviewing the grading policy, so that you know what each grade is worth numerically. A standard 4-point GPA scale with no +/- differential is typical, but there are many variations on this. Using the standard scale, an A is worth 4 points, a B is worth 3 points, a C is worth 2 points, a D is worth 1 point and an F is worth 0 points. Multiply the grade you received in the class (in points) by the number of credit hours; repeat for each class. Add up all these numbers, then divide by the number of credit hours you have taken. This will be your GPA.

Answer 3

In computing this average, the following numerical values

are assigned to each letter grade.

Grade Grade Numerical Value

A+ . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4

B+ . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.5

B+ . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3

C+ . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.5

C+ . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2

D+ . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.5

D+ . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1

F+ . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0

Numerical quality points are then determined by multiplying the above values by the number of credit hours which the course carries. For example, a three-credit hour course in which the student receives

a B represents 9 quality points earned. Academic average is determined by dividing the total number of quality points taken, whether passed or failed. The following table is an illustration of this computation: Grade & Quality

Numerical PointsCourse Credits Value Per Course

HIS 101 . . . . 3 . . . . .C(2) . . . . . .6

PSY 101 . . . 3 . . . . .B(3) . . . . . .9

BIO 111 . . . 4 . . . . .D(1) . . . . . .4

FRE 101 . . . . 3 . . . . .A(4) . . . . .12

ENG 101 . . . 3 . . . .B+(3.5) . .10.5

CIS 101 . . . . 3 . . . . .F (0) . . . . . .0

. . . . . 19 . . . . . . . . . . . . 41.5

Total credits taken 19

Total quality points earned 41.5

41.5 divided by 19 results in a 2.18 grade

point average.

Answer 4

Grade point average: the average score of all of your grades.

Answer 5

you take the numbers add them together and divide by the number of numbers added

Answer 6

To figure it you must simply average your grades in numerical format with four being A F being 0.

Answer 7

A=4

B=3

C=2

D=1

add all grades up using this scale, then divide by the number of classes.
