Understanding GPA Calculation

The Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated using the standard 4.0 scale where A+ = 4.0, A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C- = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, and F = 0.0. This calculation helps you understand how your current performance translates to the widely-used GPA system.

Grade Scale Reference

Our calculator uses the standard academic grading scale: A+ (97-100%), A (93-96%), A- (90-92%), B+ (87-89%), B (83-86%), B- (80-82%), C+ (77-79%), C (73-76%), C- (70-72%), D+ (67-69%), D (63-66%), and F (0-62%). This scale is commonly used in most educational institutions.

Target Grade Planning

The target grade feature helps you plan your academic strategy by calculating what scores you need on remaining assignments or exams to achieve your desired final grade. This is particularly useful for semester planning and understanding the impact of individual assignments on your overall performance.
