Frequently asked questions
How is GPA calculated?
Each grade is turned into points (A is 4.0, B is 3.0 and so on), multiplied by the course credits, added up and divided by the total credits.
What is a weighted GPA?
A weighted GPA gives extra points for harder courses. Here honors courses add 0.5 and AP or IB courses add 1.0, but only for passing grades.

Open Grades, enter your current grade, how much the final is worth and the grade you want. The tool shows the score you need.

Yes. Enter your GPA and credits so far and the tool shows the new overall GPA.
