A = 4 B = 3 C = 2 D = 1 Fail = 0
Assign a number to each class/grade by multiplying the credit hours of the class by the number associated with the grade. In other words, if you received an "A" in a math class that is considered to be 4 credit hours, you'd multiply 4 credit hours times 4 for the "A", giving you 16 grade points for the class. Keep one column that will be the total of the credit hours and another column that is the total of the grade points. After you've calculated the grade points and credit hours for each class, add both columns and divide the total of the grade points by the total of the credit hours.
For example, if you have 100 grade points and 30 credit hours, your grade point average will be 3.33. If you did it right, the total cannot be above 4, and only then if you've received straight "A" grades.
Grade Point Average (GPA) CalculationDivide the total number of grade points passed/earned by the total number of class hours to determine the GPA.For example, using a 4-point grading scale,
and a 15 semester hour system:
An "A" in a 3-hour Math class would be worth 12 grade points.
A "B" in a 3-hour English class would yield 9 grade points.
Another "A" in a 4-hour Biology class would earn 16 grade points.
An "F" in a 2-hour Sociology class is not worth any (0) grade points.
Latin's 3-hour C provides 6 grade points.
The total number of grade points (43) divided by the total number of class hours (15) is the grade point average: 2.866666.... or 2.87 which is a high "C", "C+" or "B-" according to who interprets it.

To calculate your GPA using the rounding GPA method, you assign each letter grade a numerical value (e.g., A4, B3, C2, D1) and then calculate the average of these values for all your courses. Round the average to the nearest whole number to determine your GPA.
GPA=percentage/10 = 58.79/10 =5.879

To calculate your cumulative GPA, you need to add up all your grade points from each semester and divide by the total number of credits. Multiply your semester GPA by the number of credits for that semester, then add up these values for all semesters. Divide this total by the total number of credits to get your cumulative GPA.
A 3.36 is typically a B+
To add your current GPA to your cumulative GPA, you would need to calculate the weighted average of your current GPA and your previous GPA. This involves multiplying each GPA by the number of credits it represents, adding these values together, and then dividing by the total number of credits.
To calculate your transferable GPA, you need to convert your grades from your previous school to the new school's grading scale. This is typically done by using a conversion chart provided by the new school or by consulting with an academic advisor. Once you have converted your grades, you can calculate your transferable GPA by averaging all of your converted grades.
To calculate your cumulative GPA, you need to add up all your grade points from each semester and divide by the total number of credits. Multiply your semester GPA by the number of credits for that semester, then add up these values for all semesters and divide by the total number of credits.
To calculate and add your semester GPA to your overall GPA, you need to multiply the grade points for each course by the credit hours, then add up the total grade points and total credit hours for the semester. Divide the total grade points by the total credit hours to get your semester GPA. To add it to your overall GPA, multiply your current overall GPA by the total credit hours completed so far, add the total grade points for all completed courses, then divide by the new total credit hours.
To calculate your cumulative GPA, add up the grade points for all your classes and divide by the total number of credits. Grade points are assigned based on the letter grade you received in each class (e.g., A4, B3, C2, D1). This will give you an average GPA for all your classes.
