Questions

Frequently asked questions

How is the GPA worked out?

Each grade becomes points, the points are multiplied by the credits, and the total is divided by the credits counted.

What if my school weights honours courses?

Choose the weighted five point zero scale. Every passing grade gains one point, which is the usual weighting.

Does an A plus count as more than an A?

Only on the 4.3 scale, where it is worth 4.3. On the 4.0 scale both are worth four.

Why is a grade not being counted?

It was not recognised. Unrecognised grades are listed under the result so you can correct the spelling.

Background

Credits are what move the number

Add a row for each course, type the letter grade and the credits, and the GPA updates as you go. A table underneath shows the points each course contributed.

  • A grade in a four-credit course shifts the average twice as far as the same grade in a two-credit one.
  • Pass and fail courses usually carry no grade points and are left out of the average entirely.
  • A cumulative GPA covers every term, so add all the courses rather than one term at a time.
  • Schools differ on plus and minus values, so check yours before relying on a decimal place.
