how can i calculate my gpa?

Question

im not sure how to find my gpa i have an overall average of 87.38 (my school uses a # system) and i am a junior. does the fact that of my 8 classes 6 of them had an aveage above 90 mean anything? a 67 in math and 78 in english killed me. does anybody know what my gpa would be?

Answer 1

Depends what number = A. Some use 4. some use 5.

To calculate your GPA, (spreadsheet makes it easy):

1 row per class
Column A: Numeric Grade
Column B: Number of credit hours
Column C1: =(A1*B1)

After you have the first class (row) entered, copy cell C1 to C2, C3,..... Then enter A and B for all your other classes.

Finally, Sum up columns B and C. Divide the sum of Column C by the sum of column B to get your GPA.

Answer 2

To the best of my knowledge, it works like this:

A=4
B=3
C=2
D=1
E/F=0

If my memory serves me correctly, a 67 in math is a D, and a 78 in english is either a B- or a C, I'm thinking it's a C.
So for your GPA:

6 A's = 24(worth 3 points each)
1 C = 2
1 D = 1
___
27
Divide the total by the number of classes:

27/8=3.375

A 3.375 is great! Keep up the good work! Try tutor.com for that math though.
