Question 1

How is GPA calculated?

Accepted Answer

GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated by multiplying each course's grade point by its credit hours, summing all the quality points, then dividing by total credit hours. For example: if you have course A (4 credits, A grade = 3.6) and course B (3 credits, B+ = 3.2), GPA = (4×3.6 + 3×3.2) / (4+3) = 3.43.
