1. Gather Information
- To find your weighted high school GPA, you'll need to gather the following information:
- Your grades for each course you've taken in high school
- The corresponding credit hours for each course (These may vary depending on your school)
- Your school's weighting system (this will typically assign higher point values to more rigorous or advanced courses)
2. Convert grades to weighted grade points
- Your school's weighting system will specify how each grade translates into grade points. For example in a system:
>- A = 4.0
>- B = 3.0
>- C = 2.0
>- D = 1.0
>- F = 0
- If you have an A- and your school awards 0.3 extra grade points for an A- then convert your A- into point as 4.3
3. Multiply weighted grade points by credit hours
- For each course, you'll need to multiply your weighted grade point by the credit hours for that course. This will give you the weighted credit points earned for that course.
4. Sum up the weighted credit points
- Total all the weighted credit point for all the courses you've taken. This will give you your total weighted credit point.
5. Divide the total weighted credit points by the total credit hours
- To find your weighted GPA, you need to divide your total weighted credit point by the total credit hours you've attempted.
6. Rounded to the nearest hundredth
- Your final weighted GPA will typically be rounded to the nearest hundredth (2 decimal places)
