The calculation
To calculate the GPA of the student with the result above. You should follow the steps below:
Grade Point Average (GPA) formula= Total Credit Hours * Total Grade Points
Total Credit Hours
Total Credit Hours * Total grade points =4 * A (4) +5 * A- (3.70) + 3 * B+ (3.30) + 3 * B (3.00) + 2 * B- (2.70) + 1 * C+(2.3)
= 16 + 18.5 + 9.9 +9 +5.4 +2.3
=61.1 grade points
Can the students GPA be 61.1? Absolutely not.
We need to calculate the total credit hours according to the GPA formula above.
Total credit hours = 4 +5 +3+ 3 +2 +1 = 18 hours.
Therefore, the students GPA (Grade point Average) = 61.1 / 18
= 3.39 ( to 2 decimal places)
Note
As you can see from the table and results, an A in a 4-unit course is stronger than an A in a 1-unit course.
