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.
Can I still pass if I fail the final?
Often, yes — it depends on your current grade and the final's weight. With an 80 going in and a final worth 20%, even a 40 on the final leaves you at 72. Run your exact numbers in the calculator; 'failing the final means failing the class' is only true when the final is very heavily weighted or your cushion is thin.
