Understanding the GPA Calculator
Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is a standard way of measuring your academic achievement. This advanced tool has two modes to help you both calculate your current GPA and plan for your future GPA.
Semester GPA Calculator Mode
Use this mode to calculate your GPA for a single semester or to find your cumulative GPA if you enter all your courses.
How It's Calculated
- Convert Letter Grades to Grade Points: Each letter grade corresponds to a point value. This calculator uses a common scale: A/A+ = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, etc.
- Calculate Quality Points: For each course, multiply the grade points by the number of credits (or credit hours) for that course. For example, a 'B' (3.0 points) in a 3-credit course is worth 9 quality points.
- Sum and Divide: Add up all the quality points from all your courses and divide by the total number of credits you took. The result is your GPA.
GPA Goal Calculator Mode
This advanced planning tool answers the critical question: "What GPA do I need this semester to reach my target cumulative GPA?"
How to Use It
- Enter Your Current Stats: Input your current cumulative GPA and the total number of credits you've completed so far.
- Set Your Goal: Enter the desired cumulative GPA you want to achieve.
- Add New Credits: Enter the total number of credits you are taking in the current semester.
The calculator will then tell you the exact semester GPA you need to earn to hit your goal. If the required GPA is above 4.0, it may be mathematically impossible to reach your goal in this semester.
