OK, better question, how is college GPA determined? I'm halfway through colleg with know clue at GPA?

Your GPA is the average of all the grades you've earned weighted for credit hours.  In other words, mulitply the grade you got in each course by the number of credits that course was worth, then add all those numbers together and divide by the total number of credits all the courses were worth.\n\nA = 4.0\nA- = 3.7\nB+ = 3.3\nB = 3.0\nB- = 2.7\nC+ = 2.3\nC = 2.0\nC- = 1.7\nD+ = 1.3\nD = 1.0\nD- = 0.7\nF = 0.0

3.6 GPA is great! The highest you can have 4.0. College is scary at first for everyone. Remember when you went from elementary school to high school? That was scary but you did it. It's the same idea. College is awesome, it's normal to feel nervous at first, but it won't last long. Good luck!

Obviously his school uses a minus system if he has the potential to get an A-. \n\nIs this college or high school? I will assume college since this is the college board. It also depends on the credit hours of each class\n\nSystems that use both plus and minus grades usually assign an additoinal 0.30 points for + and subtract 0.3 points for -. Thus, an A- should be around a 3.7 and a B+ would be a 3.30.\n\nPoint Value * Credit hours = GP\nSum up your GP and divide by the sum of your credit hours and that is your GPA.\n\n4.0 * 3 = 12\n3.7 * 3 = 11.1\n3.0 * 3 = 9\n\n12+11.1+9 = 32.1\n32.1/9 = 3.57

A - 4 points\nB - 3 points\nC - 2 points\nD - 1 point\n\nAdd the number of points you have and divide by the number of classes. That's the GPA. (4.0 is highest, unless the classes are weighted)\n\n90%-100% - A\n80%-89% - B\n70%-79% - C\n60%-69% - D\n50%-59% - F

for each grade, convert to a number.\n\na=4\nb=3\nc=2\nd=1\nf=zero\n\nadd up and divide by number of classes and you have a GPA

Go to www.collegeboard.com and type in the schools. There is tons of information on it, including average GPA.

Grade Point Average...\n\n4.0=A\n3.0=B\n2.0=C\n1.0=D\n0.0=F\n\nIts just a number that shows colleges how well you do as a student.

It depends on the scale and weight of the grades.  Presuming a four point scale and equally weighted classes, two A's (4.0) and one C (2.0) divided by four classes gives you a GPA of 2.5.  F's give you no points.

This is your Grade Point Average. Most schools use a A-,A,A+ scale. For example, if you get a 98 in Calculus, you would earn an A+ which is worth 4.33 points multiplied by how many hours of credit you get for that class (probably either 3 or 4). Add up all of your hours multiplied by their value and then divide by the total hours you took and you'll get your GPA. \nA+=4.33\nA=4\nA-=3.66\nB+=3.33\nB=3\nB-=2.66\nC+=2.33\nC=2\nC-=1.66\n\nFor example:\n\n3 hours Math 98=A+ ==3*4.33= 13 points\n4 hours Science 80=B- ==4*2.66= 10.64 points\n3 hours Chemistry 95=A ==3*4= 12 points\n1 hour PE 75=C ==1*2= 2 points\n4 hours Physics 88=B+ ==4*3.33= 13.32 points\n\nTotal Points: 50.96\nTotal Hours: 15\nGPA: 50.96/15 = 3.397

Colleges definitely consider GPA.\nHowever, a lot of colleges look at your SAT scores more, because they are a standardized test.  \nGPAs can vary from school to school.  Suppose I went to a school that had many teachers that graded leniently and I earned a GPA of 4.0, but you went to a school where the teachers were mean and inflexible, but you had a GPA of 3.0.  We could be equally intelligent, but I appear more qualified because of the different teachers.

Usually it depends on the subject you are going to follow\n\nI will give you an example for sciences:\n\nyou will need Math 12, Physics 12, Chemistry 12, Language 12,\nEnglish 12, and another official course of choice. the GPA is based only on these courses.\n\nthe GPA cut-offs is usually about 80% to 90%.

I belive it is just a percent of the total graduating class, so...\n\n5% = 28 or lower\n10% = 57 or lower\n25% = 144 or lower\n33.3% = 193 or lower\n50% = 289 or lower\n\n*****\noops!, lower, not greater... da!\n\n*****\nand everyone else (for the most part) is right, you are sitting at about 23%... and to get that, you do indeed take (136/579)*100 = % the same formula can be applied to find anyone's position... n/579*100=% (where "n" equals that persons "rank")...\n\nby the way, congradulations, welcome to the real world, my suggestion would be to move on, get a college degree, and at that point, high school will seem insignifigant... I graduate college in about 2 weeks, yay!!!... for my area of study, I am about one of five people graduating... my class started with almost 40 people, and I will be either #2, or #3!!! sweet!

If your GPA is based on a "100" scale, then divide your GPA by 25 to get the 4-point correlation.\n\n(It would be 3.49712)

it's about a C/C+ GPA.\n\nA is 4.0\n\nB is 3.0\n\nC is 2.0\n\nD is 1.0\n\nunless you are taking Honors or Advanced Placement (weighted) classes - then you can add one point to each of the grades I gave you.

Though some of the answers above are partly right, here's a better explanation.\n\nA, B, C, D are called Letter Grades where in Students scoring within a range are given a particular "grade" not "marks" for the course/subject.\n\nEach letter grade typically stands for a number a.k.a Point,\n\nA = 4\nB = 3\nC = 2\nD = 1\n\nF = Fail, so course need to be taken again or something.\n\nAn average of all these grade points (numbers 0 to 4)  in all subjects is calulated and is given as the GPA (Grade Point average) , typically on a scale of 0 to 4.\n\nSo a 4.0 GPA is the highest (exceptions are there where more could be scored) and is available for a "straight A" student.\n\nNote that some institutions also award partial grades like A-, B+ etc which are typically 3.75, 3.25 etc
