How to Calculate GPA

Hi again

I went to Wikipedia and was reading this article regarding academic grading in North America. Give it a look and see if it helps.
Academic grading in North America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article covers all the different grading systems used here and also talks about how it differs from the grading system used in Ontario.

Each 'A' grade equals 4 points. Each 'B' grade equals 3 points. Each 'C' grade equals 2 points. Each 'D' grade equals 1 point. Each 'F' grade equals 0 points.

3.6 to 4.0 grade point average = 'A' average (36 / 40 = 90%)

Stacey, though it's true A=4. Be3, and so on, it also matters how many credits the class is and what you get in that class.

A four credit class has a potential of earning you 16 GPA points. If you get an A, you get the full 16.

A four credit class in which you earn a B will get you 3 points per credit, so 3 X 4 = 12, instead of the 16 you could have earned.

A 3 credit class is still an A, and your report card shows a 4.0, but you get 12 GPA points.

I just received an A in a 7 credit nursing course. That is a whopping 28 GPA points, compared to the 'A' I received in my 3 credit Psych course (12 credits.) Get it?

Those are the points that really compose your GPA.

To answer your question directly, 3.6 - 4.0 = A; 3.0 - 3.5 = B; 2.5 - 2.9 = C. Roughly....I could be off a bit, but it's about this.
