How this calculator works
Formula used
Weighted GPA starts with standard grade points, then adds a course-level bonus such as 0.5 for honors or 1.0 for AP, IB, or college-level classes before averaging by credit hours.
Example calculation
A B in an AP class may count as 4.0 weighted points instead of 3.0 unweighted points, depending on the weighting system used by a school district.
