<p>Are high school gpa's calculated by your final class grade, or by each letter grade you got per semester? I'm asking this because I did horrible the 3rd nine weeks (4 C's) but managed to pass all of my classes with A's and B's...</p>
<p>I believe that most schools calculate GPA by your final grades. However, your school could be different, check and see.</p>
<p>One more question- I'm calculating my gpa online and it asks for the credit hours per course. I'm not too sure what to put there. Do they mean how many semesters you took that course?</p>
<p>A+ (97-100) = 4.0
A (93-96) = 4.0
A- (90-92) = 3.7</p>
<p>B+ (87-89) = 3.3
B (83-86) = 3.0
B- (80-82) = 2.7</p>
<p>C+ (77-79) = 2.3
C (73-76) = 2.0
C- (70-72) = 1.7</p>
<p>D+ (67-69) = 1.3
D (65-66) = 1.0
E/F (below 65) = 0.0</p>
<p>Use final grades to calculate it, no credit hours neccessary.</p>
<p>Thank you guys. :)</p>
<p>My school uses pluses and minuses, but they don't calculate in GPA.</p>
<p>A+/A/A- = 4.0
B+/B/B- = 3.0
etc.</p>
<p>In my high school, only final grades mattered. Final grades were the average of the trimester grades.</p>
<p>What I posted above is the "standard" way a GPA is supposed to be calculated by colleges. Directly from the College Board website. Also, only the five major subjects count (English, Math, Science, Social Studies, Foreign Language).</p>
<p>at my school they average all the grades form the year and the final test grades together to get your final grade.</p>
