<p>I know this is a stupid question but I have no idea how to do this.
Thanks</p>

<p>If your school computes the GPA, you should ask THEM to do this. every school computes GPA using their own formula. Some include only content area classes. Some exclude PE. There is no way for us to know what your school does.</p>

<p>Just averaging the numbers you provided…your overall GPA looks to be about 3.8. Some years were a little higher, and some a little lower.</p>

<p>If AP’s are the only weighted grades, then you could simply subtract off the weighting. For example, I see 2 AP classes worth 3/23.5 of the credits. If the AP classes are the only ones with a +1 boost, then that decreases they increase the GPA by 3/23.5 = .13, making the unweighted GPA 3.63 - 0.13 = 3.5 . </p>

<p>Regarding calculating the full GPA by hand, it’s difficult to give a set of rules since different schools use different rules. For a rough estimate, you might assume + and - alter the GPA by 0.3. For example, a B+ is worth 3.3 and an A- is worth 3.7 . All the classes look like the same number of credits except 8th grade English. For 8th grade English, you could add the grade twice to compensate. Divide the sum by the number of grades (should be 47) to get the average. Note that I am assuming the GPA per class is an average of the the 3 term grades, without additional influence from a final.</p>

<p>Assuming your school uses a “standard” 4.0 scale, then you can use a calculator like this: [Calculate</a> Your GPA](<a href=“http://www.back2college.com/gpa.htm]Calculate”>http://www.back2college.com/gpa.htm)</p>
