How to Use the High School GPA Calculator

Welcome to the High School GPA Calculator guide. This tool is designed to help you calculate your weighted and unweighted GPA, taking into account the type of courses you have taken, your grades, and the number of credits for each course. Follow the steps below to effectively use the calculator.

Step 1: Input Course Type

Start by selecting your course type from the options provided. Under Course Type, you will find options such as:

  • Regular Course
  • Honors Course
  • Advanced Placement (AP)
  • International Baccalaureate (IB)

This information will help determine the weight of your grade points based on the course difficulty.

Step 2: Specify Your Letter Grade

Next, choose your corresponding letter grade for the selected course. The grades are categorized with their numerical equivalents as follows:

  • A (93-100%) – 4.0
  • A- (90-92%) – 3.7
  • B+ (87-89%) – 3.3
  • B (83-86%) – 3.0
  • B- (80-82%) – 2.7
  • C+ (77-79%) – 2.3
  • C (73-76%) – 2.0
  • C- (70-72%) – 1.7
  • D+ (67-69%) – 1.3
  • D (65-66%) – 1.0
  • F (Below 65%) – 0

Step 3: Enter Course Credits

In this step, enter the number of credits the course is worth. The credit value can range between 0.5 and 5, and must be entered in increments of 0.5. This information is vital for calculating the grade points accurately.

Step 4: Specify Total Number of Courses

Enter the Total Number of Courses you are taking. This ranges from 1 to 12 and must be entered in whole numbers. This data is essential in determining your cumulative GPA.

Step 5: Calculate Your Results

Once you have entered all the necessary information, the calculator will automatically display your results, including:

  • Weighted Grade Points: Calculated using the formula grade * (weight based on course type) * credits.
  • Unweighted Grade Points: Calculated as grade * credits.
  • Weighted GPA: Determined by the total weighted grade points divided by the total possible weighted credits.
  • Unweighted GPA: Determined by the total unweighted grade points divided by the total possible credits.

By following these steps, you’ll be able to effectively use the High School GPA Calculator to understand the impact of your courses and grades on your overall GPA. Make sure to check each entry for accuracy to ensure valid results.
