What does the abbreviation 'CGPA' stand for?

Answer 1

CGPA = cumulative grade point average

the formula to calculate CGPA :

[ total of ( credit hours X score ) ]/ Total credit hours

score for A = 4, B = 3 and so on..

1 example:

the 1st result u got is

A for 4 credit hours subject

B for 3 credit hours subject

D for 4 credit hours subject

CGPA = ( 4x4 + 3x3 + 1x4)/ ( 4+3+4) = 2.9

and u resit for the 3 subject that got D. assume that u got A but the previous credit hours will be included as well

new CGPA = ( 4x4 + 3x3 + 1x4 + 4x4 )/ ( 4+3+4+4) = 3.214

the example shows quite high increment as the credit hours u earn is not so high yet. but when u keep on studying, the credit hours will increase, and the score effect to the credit hours will be smaller and smaller.
