How to Calculate GPA
English (B+, 3 credits): 3.3 x 3 = 9.9 points
Math (A, 4 credits): 4.0 x 4 = 16.0 points
History (B, 3 credits): 3.0 x 3 = 9.0 points

Weighted vs Unweighted GPA
Unweighted GPA uses the standard 4.0 scale for all courses. An A is always 4.0.
Weighted GPA gives extra points for harder courses:
- Regular courses: A = 4.0
- Honors courses: A = 4.5
- AP/IB courses: A = 5.0
Frequently Asked Questions
Generally, 3.0+ is good, 3.5+ is very good, and 3.7+ is excellent. For graduate school, aim for 3.5+. Medical and law schools typically expect 3.7+.
On an unweighted scale, no. Weighted GPAs that give extra points for AP/Honors classes can exceed 4.0.
For entry-level positions, some employers have GPA cutoffs (often 3.0). After a few years of experience, GPA becomes much less important.
Pass/Fail courses typically do not affect your GPA. A “Pass” gives credit but no grade points.
It depends on your current credits. With fewer credits, each grade has bigger impact. Use the Goal Calculator above to plan.
