<p>Can someone tell me how to calculate unweighted gpa? I can't figure it out. It would be extremely helpful. plzz thanks.</p>
<p>Your unweighted GPA is your GPA without honors credit. Instead of using a 5 for honors classes, you would use a 4. A 5 means an A in an honors class.</p>
<p>but i don't understand how you multiply the credits and stuff. like what is the process like the actual math?</p>
<p>My understanding is add up the points (4=A, 3=B, etc.), and dived by the number of classes.</p>
<p>For example, if Johnny gets 3 A's, two B's, and a C one semester:</p>
<p>4+4+4+3+3+2= 20</p>
<p>Divided 20 by six classes, and you get his GPA, which would be 3.33</p>
<p>The process is actual math and it is time consuming. I tried it once and I actually got to compute my GPA. </p>
<p>For example, here were my grades in the Fall:</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA:
A APUSH
A APBio
A Trig(Not Honors)
A Band(Not Honors)</p>
<p>In unweighted GPAs, all of the classes would equal fours. Basically, a 4 in apush+a 4 in apbio+ a 4 in trig+ a 4 in band= 16. Then, 16 would be divided by the amount of classes. 16/4= 4. That means I got a 4.0 unweighted GPA for that term. If it were to be weighted, it would equal 4.5.</p>
<p>lol that was totally difficult math there nhsharvard ; )</p>
<p>What I do:</p>
<p>My weighted GPA = 4.38 out of a possible 4.6
so I do 4.38/4.6 (Cause that's the percentage I have) and then multiply it by the common 4.0 to get a 3.81. I was told to do it that way and I'm pretty sure it's right?</p>
<p>No that doesn't necessarily work. </p>
<p>Redknight and nhsharvard explain how to do it correctly.</p>
<p>just use this:</p>
<p>and for your weighted, use this:</p>
<p>I don't get how to use that calculator... is there anyway to just convert it? I have my GPA but I don't remember what I got in the classes...</p>
<p>I've had straight As in (almost) all my classes, and I have 7 classes per year.
So freshman year all As, 7 classes = 28
Sophomore year all As, 7 classes = 28
Junior year all As, 1 B+, 7 classes = 27
(I'm guessing there is no diference between a B- and B+?)
and then add that all up to get an 83... Divide that by 21 (number of classes) to get a 3.95; did I do it right?</p>
<p>Thanks to whoever helps me</p>
<p>A=4.0
B=3.0
C=2.0
D=1.0</p>
<p>Here's an example:
AP World History-A
AP Calculus AB-A
English 2-A
Chemistry-B
Film Studies-A
Art History-C</p>
<p>Now look at the values for A,B,C,D above.
4.0+4.0+4.0+3.0+4.0+2.0=21.0
Now just divide by the number of classes you took (6)
21.0/6=3.5
Your unweighted GPA is a 3.5..It's not that hard</p>
<p>but what about percentages?? for some, 90-100 = A but for others 95-100 could be an A and 90-94 could be a B, its not really fair with the A=4, B=3 system then..</p>
<p>still confused</p>
<p>At my school:</p>
<p>A (93-100) 4.0
A- (90-93) 3.8
B+ (87-90) 3.5
B (83-87) 3.0
B- (80-83) 2.8
C+ (77-80) 2.5
C (73-77) 2.0
C- (70-73) 1.8
D+ (67-70) 1.5
D (63-67) 1.0
D- (60-63) 0.8
F (0-60) 0.0</p>
<p>It varies between schools. Many colleges calculate it their own way, and don't even look at your "official" GPA. Also, for some schools, its really easy to get an A, but for others, an A is a rarity. That's why colleges try to learn about individual high schools.</p>
<p>Okay, got it... Sorry. I was never taught that. But there's no difference whatsoever between an A+ and an A-?</p>
<p>Lindsay, it varies widely. EVERY institution seems to have their own special way of calculating GPA. Using the simple methods outlines above, you can get a rough idea of your GPA, but every institution will tell you you have a different one.</p>
<p>I thought UW gpa calculation only includes academics not elective courses.</p>
