Grade Point Average

Your grade point average is also known as your GPA. You can calculate your GPA by adding the points you received and dividing it by the number of classes you took. The following point system has been assigned to the letter grades. A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. So let's say you took 4 classes and got 2 A's, 1 B and 1 C. You would have gotten 12 points, you divide that by 4 and you have a 3.0 gpa.
