• What is GPA? +
  GPA stands for Grade Point Average, representing your overall academic performance on a scale.
• How do we calculate GPA? +
  We convert letter grades to numbers (A=4.0, B=3.0, etc.) and average them to get your GPA. If you input AP or Honors classes we add the respective extra weight (A=5.0 or A=4.5).
• Instructions +
  Input your class name e.g. "Biology 101", class grade e.g. "A-", and class type e.g. "Honors". Use the red delete buttons to remove courses or semesters or add new courses or semesters with the add buttons.
• Other FAQ +
  1. What is the difference between weighted GPA (W) and unweighted GPA (UW)?
     Unweighted GPA is the average of your classes without considering class types. Weighted GPA gives higher credit to class types like AP or Honors, making your weighted GPA higher.
  
  
  2. What is cumulative GPA?
     Cumulative GPA is the average of all the classes up to a point in time. For example semester one's cumulative GPA is just semester one, but semester two's gpa is semester one and semester two.
  
  
  3. How can I raise my GPA?
     Take harder classes that are weighted higher and get better grades in the classes you take!
  
  
  4. What are AP, Honors, IB, and Dual Enrollment classes?
     Many high schools offer students the opportunity to take more difficult classes in return for a higher weighted credit. AB, IB, and Dual Enrollment are college level classes, while honors are more difficult highschool classes. * This may vary between school.
  
  
  5. Why can't I delete all of the courses in the semester, or the only semester remaining?
     We cannot support the deletion of the last semester and or course in each semester due to how we process addition and deletion requests. We apologize if this causes difficulty.
