Weighted vs Unweighted GPA
A surprising number of students mix these up.
| Type | Scale | What It Accounts For |
|---|---|---|
| Unweighted | 4.0 | All courses are equal |
| Weighted | 5.0 | Honors/AP/IB courses rank higher |
Colleges know the difference. You should, too.
Why You Might Want to Check More Often
Most students only check their GPA at the end of the semester. What sense does checking the weather make after you’re already drenched? Do it more regularly:
- Flags trouble spots early.
- Shows if that extra-credit project is worth the hours.
- Helps with planning scholarships, internships, or grad school.
A GPA calculator won’t raise your grades, but it gives you a clear view of where you stand and what it will take to improve. It’s especially useful if you’re balancing courses with different credit values, applying for scholarships, or in a competitive program where even small GPA changes matter.
