In High School, the type of class adds extra points to your Weighted GPA.
Standard high school curriculum classes. They follow the normal 0.0 to 4.0 scale.
College-level courses (Advanced Placement or IB). They grant a full extra point.
Classes with greater academic rigor and pace. They grant a half extra point to your GPA.
How do you calculate a GPA?
Step 1
Convert your letter to points. For example, an A equals 4.0 points, a B equals 3.0, etc.
Step 2
Multiply by credits. Multiply the points of each letter grade by the number of credits for its respective course to get your "Quality Points".
Step 3
Divide by the total. Add all the Quality Points together and divide the result by the total number of credits taken to get your final GPA.

Frequently Asked Questions
GPA (Grade Point Average) is a number representing your overall academic performance. In the U.S., it's calculated on a 4.0 scale by converting letter grades into grade points, multiplying by credit hours, and dividing by total credits.
Generally, a 3.0 GPA (B average) is considered good for college standing. A 3.5+ is competitive for scholarships and honors programs. Top universities typically admit students with a 3.9–4.0 unweighted GPA.
Unweighted GPA uses the standard 4.0 scale for all classes. Weighted GPA gives extra points for harder courses: +0.5 for Honors and +1.0 for AP or IB, so your GPA can exceed 4.0.
Add up all your Quality Points (grade points × credits) from every semester, then divide by your total credits taken. Enter your previous GPA and credits in the calculator above to simulate it automatically.

Generally no — a passing grade adds credits but doesn't change your GPA. However, a failing grade is usually counted as 0.0 and will lower it. Always check your school's specific grading policy.
