To calculate GPA on a 4.0 scale, multiply each course's grade points (A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0) by its credit hours, sum the results, and divide by total credit hours. For example, an A in a 3-credit course and a B in a 4-credit course gives a GPA of 3.43.

Key Numbers

• •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, D- = 0.7, F = 0.0
• •Formula: Sum(grade points x credit hours) / total credit hours
• •Example: (4.0x3 + 3.0x4) / 7 = 3.43 GPA
