A = 4.0 grade points
A- = 3.7 grade points
B+ = 3.3 grade points
B = 3.0 grade points
B- = 2.7 grade points
C+ = 2.3 grade points
C = 2.0 grade points
C- = 1.7 grade points

D = 1.0 grade point
F = 0 grade points
Once you have determined the number of grade points you earned for each course, you can calculate your GPA by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of credits attempted. For example:
If you earned 4 grade points in English, 3 grade points in Math, 3.7 grade points in Science, and 3 grade points in Social Studies, your total number of grade points would be 13.7.
If you attempted a total of 12 credits (4 credits in English, 4 credits in Math, 4 credits in Science, and 4 credits in Social Studies), your GPA would be 13.7/12 = 3.0.
So, to make a 3.0 on your report card, you would need to earn a B average in all of your courses.
