<p>Exactly what the title says. Please Explain</p>
<p>Wow, OK …</p>
<p>It depends on which scale your school uses (a few use the X/100 scale, but I’ll explain the more common 4.0 scale). So each grade is worth a number:</p>
<p>F=0, D=1, C=2, B=3, A=4. So you add up all the grades you got, e.g., if I had six A’s and one B, it would be 4+4+4+4+4+4+3. Then you find the average (arithmetic mean)–27/7 = ~3.857. That’s the GPA. To find your cumulative GPA, average all your grades throughout all of high school.</p>
<p>Now, some schools use a “weighted” system; i.e., if I have a weighted grade for honors or AP classes, let’s call that an “H” grade, which is above A. My school weights grades in honors classes like this: F=0, D=1.5, C=2.5, B=3.5, A=4.5, H=5. So then it’s possible your GPA could be over 4.0. But many colleges will request an unweighted GPA, in which case you have to do annoying conversions and all that jazz.</p>
