What grades did you earn in each of these classes?
You should contact your school to find your official GPA.
So far, I've completed 8 classes per year (I'm a sophomore, soon to be junior), making that 16 classes total. I also took two middle school classes that count for high school credit. Here's the rest of the stats:
Of the 16 classes in high school:
7 classes were Honors
1 class was AP
the remaining 8 were regular/elective classes.
Of the middle school classes:
1 of them was an Honors class, worth .075 credits per semester
The other was only one semester, worth .5 credits, and regular.
I also took a summer class worth .5 credits. It was counted as regular.
Let me know if there's anything I need to specify. Thank you very much! :)
You should contact your school to find your official GPA.
i got all A's in all of the classes for both semesters, and including the summer class.
also, i believe my school weighs all the classes the same...i think it's .5 credits per semester.
1. Assign numerical values to your grades:
- A = 4.0
- B = 3.0
- C = 2.0
- D = 1.0
- F = 0.0
2. Determine the weight of each class based on its level (Honors, AP, or regular/elective):
- Honors classes receive a 0.5 GPA point boost (e.g., A = 4.5)
- AP classes receive a 1.0 GPA point boost (e.g., A = 5.0)
- Regular/elective classes are awarded their base value (e.g., A = 4.0)
3. Calculate the weighted GPA for each class:
- Multiply the numerical grade value by the corresponding weight for each class.
4. Calculate the cumulative GPA:
- Add up the weighted GPA values for all classes.
- Divide the total by the number of classes to get the average.
Let's go through your specific situation step by step:
1. Calculate the GPA for high school classes (16 classes):
- 7 Honors classes: Multiply the numerical grade value by 4.5.
- 1 AP class: Multiply the numerical grade value by 5.0.
- 8 regular/elective classes: Multiply the numerical grade value by 4.0.
2. Calculate the GPA for middle school classes (2 classes):
- 1 Honors class: Multiply the numerical grade value by 4.5.
- 1 regular class: Multiply the numerical grade value by 4.0.
3. Calculate the GPA for the summer class (1 class):
- 1 regular class: Multiply the numerical grade value by 4.0.
4. Calculate the weighted GPA total:
- Add up the weighted GPA values from all classes.
5. Calculate the cumulative GPA:
- Divide the weighted GPA total by the total number of classes (16 high school classes + 2 middle school classes + 1 summer class).
Remember, this calculation assumes a standard GPA scale. Some schools may use a different scale, so it's always a good idea to check with your school's guidance office for specific guidelines. Good luck!
