This question is about weighted gpa vs unweighted gpa.
How do I calculate unweighted GPA?
The way to calculate an unweighted GPA is the same way that you calculate an average.
The first thing you do is convert your letter grades into the GPA scale. You can use the chart above if you like. To get a rough approximate value, you can add all the numbers together. Finally, divide the sum by how many classes there are, and you have your rough GPA.
However, the majority of schools take credits into account. In order to do it properly, you should include this information yourself. As above, you convert your grades. Then, you multiply each number by the number of credit hours in the class, respectively. Finally, you add up the total number of credit hours and divide the first number by that. So:
Say you take English, Statistics, and Biology. English and Statistics are each worth 3 credits, and Biology is worth 5. You get an A, C, and B, respectively.
For English, you multiply the GPA, 4.0, with the credit hours, 3. So, 12.
For Statistics, you do the same. GPA 2.0, credit hours, 3. So, 6.
For Biology, it's a GPA of 3.0 and 5 credit hours. So, 15.
12 + 6 + 15 = 33.
3 + 3 + 5 = 11
33 --' 11 = 3.
Your GPA is 3.0.
