How do u calculate Grade point average?

Question

how do u get like a 3.5 GPA? is 3.5 good? or bad? can u also help me as to how we get a grade point average?

Answer 1

that's decent

3.5 is basically in the middle of B and A

good job!

A = 4

B= 3

C= 2

D= 1

F=0

look at your grades and average it

Answer 2

3.5 is a good GPA.  If you get mostly A's and maybe one or two B's you can get at least a 3.5   refer to www.back2college.com/gpa.htm

But if you aren't in college, just remember that an A=4 points

B=3 points C=2 points D=1 point F=0 points

Add up the number of points you have received and then divide by the number of classes you have.  Then you'll have your GPA

Answer 3

A grade point average is not a straight calculation, it's what's called a "weighted average".

In order to calculate it, you must take the point scale (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0) and for each class that you take, you multiply the number of hours that the class gives credit for by the grade points that you received for that class.  For example: if you had a 5 hour class and you made a "B" as your final grade, you would multiply 5x3 and get 15 points for that particular class, and so on.

Once you get them all figured, then you must total all the points, total all the credit hours, and then divide the points by the hours attended.

This number will be your grade point average (GPA).

If you're in high school, then most classes are 5 hours credit, so it's easier to figure.  But in college, classes can be anything from 1 hour to 5 hours and therefore that GPA is more complicated to figure.

Anyway, a 3.5 GPA is very good.  It's halfway between a solid "B" (3.0) and a solid "A" (4.0).  It's considered a high B.

Answer 4

3.5 gpa means half A's, half B's.

A= 4 pts

B= 3 pts

C= 2 pts

The gpa is calculated by adding the points for each class and dividing by the number of classes. For example: Say you received 3 A's, 2 B's, and a C on a report card. The gpa would be calculated as follows:

A's:   3 x 4 pts= 12 pts

B's:   2 X 3 pts= 6 pts

C's:   1 x 2 pts= 2 pts

Total Pts:            20 pts

divide 20 pts by the number of classes (6), and the gpa would be 3.33.
