Common questions
Why does my school's GPA differ from this one?
Schools differ on three things: whether A+ counts as 4.3 or 4.0, whether plus/minus grades are used at all, and whether honors/AP courses are weighted above 4.0. This calculator uses the most common unweighted convention (A+ = 4.0, minus/plus in 0.3 steps). Your registrar's number is the official one.
How many points is each letter grade worth on a test?
On the standard scale, each letter band spans 10 percentage points, so on a 50-point test a letter grade is about 5 points, and on a 20-point quiz it's about 2. That's why one careless mistake matters more on short assessments — a single 2-point question on a 20-point quiz is an entire letter grade.
