<p>[How</a> to Convert Your GPA to a 4.0 Scale](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>How to Convert (Calculate) Your GPA to a 4.0 Scale – BigFuture)</p>
<p>This is helpful.</p>
<p>Depends on your school’s system of weighting, but for mine:</p>
<p>A- 4.0
B- 3.0
C- 2.0
D- 1.0
F- 0</p>
<p>So if you have 4 classes, and have 2 A’s, a B and a C, then:</p>
<p>4.0
4.0
3.0</p>
<h2>2.0</h2>
<p>13.0</p>
<p>Divided by # of classes (4)</p>
<p>= 3.25</p>
<p>And for weighted, you also add in with an extra how ever many points you get for AP classes and Honors, so for my school an A in an AP is like a 5.0 basically:</p>
<p>So say the B was an AP class, that’s now a 4.0</p>
<p>4.0
4.0
3.0 +1.0</p>
<h2>2.0</h2>
<p>14</p>
<p>Divided by #of classes (4) </p>
<p>= 3.5</p>
<p>That’s how my English teacher taught us to do it last year and I did it and compared to my GPA and it came out right.</p>
<p>You don’t divide by the number of classes, you divide by the number of credits attempted.
In a half-credit class, an A is worth 2 points, a B is worth 1 point, etc.
In a quarter-credit class (gym at my school), an A is worth 1 point, etc.</p>
<p>Weighted doesn’t matter. Colleges will probably recalculate it anyway. Just take honors/AP classes and do well in them.</p>
<p>thank you guys, but I’m still confused?

<p>Using the college board thing I got a 3.81
But my teacher told me if I got straight A’s it’d be a 4.0 no matter how low the A was.
and It would be even higher since my AP is so high??? </p>
<p>Please helppp</p>
<p>@halcyon… Oh well at my school all classes are one credit, so I guess my teacher just told us to divide by number of classes to make of easier.</p>
<p>@gcezty it depends on your school and how much they weight APs and what your grading scale is. I’d have almost no B’s if my school had a different grading scale. Depends, that’s why it may differ. And also, for some schools (I think), they might have an A- too, which may be a 3.5 or something like that. There’s not a universal GPA/Grading scale, sorry. Depends on your school.</p>
<p>“if I got straight A’s it’d be a 4.0 no matter how low the A was.”</p>
<p>That’s true on the College Board website as well, but they don’t consider a 90% an A. Your GPA will be according to your school’s grading scale, so use that.
Your GPA will not be higher because the AP grade is over 100, though you could have a weighted GPA higher than 4.0 if some classes are weighted.</p>
<p>If your school provides your grades in 100 point scale, it is best to leave it that way rather than trying to convert it.</p>
<p>You may have unweighted GPA of 95 out of 100 but weighted GPA of 102/100 as an example.</p>
