<p>if i earn an A in a 5 unit course, would that be any different than earning an A in a 3 unit course? Is there any difference when calculating GPA? If so, how would i calculate that?</p>
<p>i know you give yourself 4 point for every A. But i just wanted to know if maybe i can calculate it differently with a 5 unit course.</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>yes it makes a big difference when factoring all of your grades... here is a link to my favorite online GPA calculator.. I used it all the time to see where I was before transferring.</p>
<p>good luck</p>
<p>Yes there is b/c it's based on units and not just the letter grades</p>
<p>A - 4 pts
B - 3
C - 2
D - 1</p>
<p>example:
Math - 4 units - B
japanese - 5 units - A
backed in high school it will considered to be 3.5 since it's the mean of the grades </p>
<p>but for college look how it differs
Math - 4 units - B (the B grades equals three points 3pts x 4units = 12 pts
Japanese - 5units - A ( 4x5 = 20 points</p>
<p>total points = 20+12=32
total units = 5+4 = 9 units
points divide by the units
32/9 = 3.555</p>
