To calculate your overall GPA, we first assign point values to your letter grades. Here is a common GPA scale:
- A = 4.0
- B = 3.0
- C = 2.0
- D = 1.0
- F = 0.0
Now, let’s assign points to your grades:
- A: 4.0 (3 times) = 4.0 * 3 = 12.0
- B: 3.0 (1 time) = 3.0 * 1 = 3.0
- D: 1.0 (2 times) = 1.0 * 2 = 2.0
Now, sum the total points:
- Total points = 12.0 (A) + 3.0 (B) + 2.0 (D) = 17.0
Next, count the total number of grades:
- Total grades = 3 (A) + 1 (B) + 2 (D) = 6
Now, divide the total points by the total number of grades to find the GPA:
- GPA = Total points / Total grades = 17.0 / 6 ≈ 2.83
Your overall GPA is approximately 2.83.
