most of it depends on the system your school uses. Some schools have weighted GPAs (which are for nothing but vanity since colleges just unweight them to rank you with other applicants anyway). At my school we use the system mentioned prior in this thread. Go to your counselor who can total it according to your school's rules.

you add the grade things then divid it by how many numbers you used..say these were my grades 95.0,45.5,68.0,and a 100.0 i would add the together then divide it so it would look like this:


95.0+45.5+68.0+100.0=308.5...308.5/4=77.125

so if i round it my grade adverage would be a 77 which i think is a C

take all your final grades for that term or year and add them together then divide by however many classes you take. Then take that number and find it in this chart. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) And whatever number its next to is your GPA. For example if you get a 85 for a number its a 3.0 but rememeber that might not be your official GPA because each class you take has levels and depending on the level your GPA may go up or down a few points. To be sure go to your Guidence Office and ask them to look it up

You have to add up all your grades and then divide that number by how many grades you have. But first you have to kind of translate them into numbers like an A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0. That's how the numbers are at my school! Hope I helped :)

Well you calculate all your grades and then divide the number of grades you get, kinda like averaging numbers. Here's the scale if you need it. A-4, B-3, C-2, D-1, F-0
Hope I helped!

A- 4.0
B- 3.0
C- 2.0
D- 1.0
F- ???

You take the grade for every class and replace it with the numbers above that correspond. Then you add them all together and divied by the number of classes you have. For exapmple, if you got 6 A's, one B, and 2 C's then you would do the following:

4+4+4+4+4+4+3+2+2=35
35/9=3.88

Hope that helped,
Ann
