4. How to calculate GPA?
GPA Calculation Formula:
GPA = Σ(Credits × Grade Points) / Σ(Credits)
Where:
- n = number of courses taken
- Credits = credit hours for each course
- Grade Points = points corresponding to the grade received in each course
Here's an example calculation:
| Course | Credits | Grade | Grade Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Course 1 | 3 | A | 4.0 |
| Course 2 | 4 | B | 3.0 |
| Course 3 | 2 | C | 2.0 |
1. Calculate Total Grade Points Earned:
- Course 1: 3 × 4.0 = 12
- Course 2: 4 × 3.0 = 12
- Course 3: 2 × 2.0 = 4
- Total Grade Points Earned = 12 + 12 + 4 = 28
2. Calculate Total Credits Attempted:
Total Credits = 3 + 4 + 2 = 9
3. Calculate GPA:
GPA = 28 / 9 ≈ 3.11
