Semester GPA vs Cumulative GPA
- Semester GPA: average for a single term's courses
- Cumulative GPA: overall average across all completed terms
Weighted vs Unweighted
- Unweighted: all courses carry equal weight regardless of difficulty
- Weighted: AP, honors, and college-level courses add extra points (up to 5.0 scale)
How Credit Hours Work
Each course has a credit hour value. A 3-credit class has more weight than a 1-credit class. The calculator accounts for this in its computation.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know
Q.How is GPA calculated?
GPA = sum of (grade points × credit hours) divided by total credit hours. For example, an A (4.0) in a 3-credit class contributes 12 points.
Q.What is a good GPA?
On a 4.0 scale: 3.7–4.0 is excellent (A range), 3.3–3.6 is very good (B+ range), 3.0–3.2 is good (B range). Below 2.0 risks academic probation at many schools.
Q.What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?
Unweighted GPA uses a 4.0 max scale for all courses. Weighted GPA allows AP/honors courses to earn up to 5.0, reflecting increased difficulty.
Q.Can I calculate my cumulative GPA?
Yes — add all courses from every semester and the calculator computes the cumulative weighted average.
Q.What GPA do I need for med school or law school?
Most medical schools expect 3.7+ GPA. Law school top programs typically want 3.8+. Individual requirements vary by institution.
Q.Is the GPA calculator free?
