<p>So I've been trying to calculate my GPA using TONS of online guides, calculators, blah blah blah...and I always seem to get different numbers.
Can anyone help me out? Give me a chart or something? </p>
<p>THANKS</p>
<p>Whats a 3.7 GPA about out of 100?</p>
<p>Your GPA is just a number, and it can be calculated a number of different ways.</p>
<p>Here's what's usually used for the general formula:
A - 4.0
B - 3.0
C - 2.0
D - 1.0
F - 0.0</p>
<p>Get the grades for each class, add them up, and average them. That is your unweighted GPA. It isn't out of 100 - it isn't that precise. Therefore, there is no difference between an A+ and an A-.</p>
<p>Sometimes, schools may weigh honors classes by giving one extra point for each of them if the grade is passing (eg. A - 5.0, B - 4.0, C - 3.0, D - 1.0, F - 0.0).</p>
<p>Also, some (though very few) schools may give bonuses and take away points for a + or -. Eg. A- - 3.7, A+ - 4.0, B- - 2.7, B+ - 3.3.</p>
<p>So, a 3.7 GPA could be anywhere from a 87 to 97 on a 100 scale.</p>
<p>at my school A+ is 4.5, A is 4.2 and A- is 3.9, so on. it suckssss.</p>
<p>My school goes from 5.3 (H/AP A+) down.</p>
<p>if you had a 3.7/4 wouldn't it be (100 x (3.7/4))=92.5? It seems that would make the most sense.</p>
<p>you could do that but its not accurate, thats not how they get the gpa. just noooo.</p>
<p>It differs between schools.</p>
<p>This is whatr the Princeton review approximates, but remember you can only use core courses. No wood shop, phys ed ect</p>
<p>4.0 95-100 A
3.9 94 A
3.8 93 A
3.7 92 A
3.6 91 A
3.5 90 A
3.4 89 B
3.3 88 B
3.2 87 B
3.1 86 B
3.0 85 B
2.9 84 B
2.8 83 B
2.7 82 B
2.6 81 B
2.5 80 B
2.4 79 C
2.3 78 C
2.2 77 C
2.1 76 C
2.0 75 C
1.9 74 C
1.8 73 C
1.7 72 C
1.6 71 C
1.5 70 C</p>
<p>my school does this</p>
<p>4.00-A
3.67-A-
3.33-B+
3.00-B
2.67-B-
2.33-C+
2.00-C
