- Credits · quality points
- 3 · 10.70
Worked example
Example: AP Calculus B, Honors Chemistry A−, English A
- AP B = 3.0 + 1.0 = 4.0
- Honors A− = 3.7 + 0.5 = 4.2
- Regular A = 4.0
- Weighted = (4.0 + 4.2 + 4.0) ÷ 3 = 4.07
Weighted GPA 4.07 (unweighted 3.57).
Formula
Weighted GPA = Σ((grade points + bonus) × credits) ÷ Σ credits
Bonus: Regular 0, Honors +0.5, AP / IB / dual enrollment +1.0.
