Help please</p>

<p>A=4 [or higher sometimes]
B=3
C=2
D=1
F=0</p>

<p>say you have five classes at school.
you get an A, B, C, A, and C as grades.</p>

<p>so to get your GPA </p>

<ol>
<li><p>change grade to number
A=4, B=3, C=2, A=4, C=2</p></li>
<li><p>add them up
4+3+2+4+2=15</p></li>
<li><p>Then divide your total by the number of classes you have (5):
15/5= 3.0 GPA</p></li>
</ol>

<p>hope that helped</p>

<p>don't you have to take in consideration the credits</p>

<p>you take that 4, 3, 2, 1, or 0 that you change your letter grade to and multiply it by the amount of credits that class is worth. you do that for every class and then add up those numbers and divide it by the total number of credits. </p>

<p>i thoughts thats how it was done, correct me if im wrong though.</p>

<p>Yea that's right. I think the person before you was assuming that the classes were worth the same amount of credits.</p>
