Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about using GPAtally.
What is the formula to calculate GPA?
GPA is calculated by multiplying your grade points (A=4, B=3, etc.) by the credit hours of the course to get "Quality Points". You then divide your total Quality Points by your total attempted credit hours.
Do AP classes give you extra points?
Yes, on a weighted GPA scale, Advanced Placement (AP) and IB classes generally provide a +1.0 bonus. This means an A becomes a 5.0 instead of a 4.0. Our weighted calculators handle this automatically.
What is considered a "Good" GPA?
A 3.0 unweighted GPA (a 'B' average) is typically the benchmark for standard college admissions and minimum scholarship requirements. Highly selective universities usually look for a 3.8 unweighted GPA or higher.
How do pass/fail classes affect my GPA?
Standard pass/fail classes do not impact your GPA. You receive graduation credit if you pass, but zero quality points are added to the numerator or denominator of the GPA formula.
Can I raise a 2.5 to a 3.0 my senior year?
Mathematically, it is very difficult to raise a cumulative GPA significantly in your senior year because the high number of past credits dilutes the impact of new grades. You can use our Target GPA calculator to see exactly what grades you need.
