How is GPA calculated?
Each letter grade is worth a number of grade points (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0). Multiply the points by the course's credit hours, add the results up, and divide by the total credits.
For example, an A- (3.7) in a 3-credit course and a B+ (3.3) in a 4-credit course give (3.7 × 3 + 3.3 × 4) ÷ 7 = 3.47.
Grade points on the 4.0 scale
| Grade | Points | Typical % |
|---|---|---|
| A / A+ | 4.0 | 93–100 |
| A- | 3.7 | 90–92 |
| B+ | 3.3 | 87–89 |
| B | 3.0 | 83–86 |
| B- | 2.7 | 80–82 |
| C+ | 2.3 | 77–79 |
| C | 2.0 | 73–76 |
| D | 1.0 | 63–66 |
| F | 0 | Below 60 |

Frequently asked questions
- What is a good GPA?
- A GPA of 3.0 (a B average) is generally considered good, 3.5 or above is strong, and many graduate programs and scholarships look for 3.0–3.5 as a minimum.
- Does an A+ count as more than 4.0?
- At most colleges an A+ is capped at 4.0. Some use 4.3, so check your college's grading policy.
- What is the difference between semester and cumulative GPA?
- Semester GPA covers only the courses you took this term. Cumulative GPA covers every graded course you've taken, weighted by credits.
- Can I convert a UK or Indian percentage to a US GPA?
- Only roughly, because each university and evaluation service uses its own conversion. As a rough guide, a UK First is often treated as about 3.7–4.0 and a 2:1 as about 3.3–3.7. For official applications, use the conversion your target university accepts.
