Letter Grades and Numerical Equivalents for GPA Calculation
The GPA (Grade Point Average) calculator uses letter grades to represent academic performance in a course. Each letter grade corresponds to a numerical equivalent, which is then used to calculate the GPA. Below is the grading scale:
| Letter Grade | Numerical Equivalent (Grade Points) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| A | 4.0 | Excellent |
| A- | 3.7 | Almost Excellent |
| B+ | 3.3 | Very Good |
| B | 3.0 | Good |
| B- | 2.7 | Slightly Above Average |
| C+ | 2.3 | Above Average |
| C | 2.0 | Average |
| C- | 1.7 | Below Average |
| D | 1.0 | Poor |
| F | 0.0 | Failing |
How GPA Is Calculated
The GPA is calculated by multiplying the numerical equivalent of each grade by the course’s credits to find the grade points earned. Then, the total grade points are divided by the total credits attempted:
GPA = Total Grade Points Earned ÷ Total Credits Attempted
Example Calculation
- Course 1: 3 credits, Grade A → 4.0 × 3 = 12 Grade Points
- Course 2: 4 credits, Grade B+ → 3.3 × 4 = 13.2 Grade Points
- Course 3: 2 credits, Grade C → 2.0 × 2 = 4 Grade Points
Total Credits: 9
Total Grade Points: 29.2
GPA: 29.2 ÷ 9 = 3.24
