Common Mistakes to Avoid

Averaging grade points without weighting by credits

Fix: A 4-credit course affects your GPA more than a 1-credit course. Always multiply grade points by credits before summing.

Using the wrong grade point scale

Fix: This calculator uses a standard 4.0 scale with plus/minus grades. If your school uses a different scale (e.g., 4.3 for A+ or weighted honors points), adjust the grade points accordingly.

Leaving a credit field blank but keeping the grade selected

Fix: A course with zero credits is excluded from the calculation. If you meant to include it, enter the credit hours — the selected grade alone does not contribute.
