How to gpa calculated

01:05anything now the next thing that you

01:08need to do is calculate the quality

01:11points in order to do this multiply the

01:15credit hours by the points for each

01:19letter grade so three times three is

01:21nine

01:22now for the next row we're gonna

01:24multiply the three credit hours for the

01:27physics course times the points that we

01:30receive based on the letter grade so

01:32three times one is three and then repeat

01:35the process one times two is two four

01:39times four is sixteen two times four is

01:42eight

01:43now the next thing we have to do is

01:47calculate the total number of credit

01:50hours and the total quality points so

01:54let's add up these numbers 3 plus 3 is 6

01:57plus 1 is 7 plus 4 is 11 plus 2 is 13 so

02:04we're takin a total of 13 credit hours

02:07in this particular semester next some of

02:11these values find the total

02:14quality point score or whatever you want

02:17to call it 9 plus 3 is 12 12 plus 2 is

02:2114 14 plus 16 is 30 and then plus 8

02:25that's 38 now the GPA is basically going

02:30to be the quality points or the total

02:33quality points which is 38 divided by

02:36the total number of credit hours which

02:38is 13 so 38 divided by 13 is 2.9 2 3 so

02:47that will be your GPA for this

02:49particular semester if you're taking

02:51these courses and if you received these

02:53grades that's how you can calculate it

02:56now let's see if you understand how to

02:59do it so I'm gonna change up everything

03:02like the grades and the credit hours and

03:04I want you to calculate the new GPA to

03:07make sure that you understand the

03:09process of how to do it so let's say

03:12that the chemistry course is worth 4

03:14hours or 4 credit hours physics we're

03:18gonna say is the same we're gonna say

03:20the lab is one hour and we're gonna say

03:22that calculus will be a three credit

03:25course and PE will be let's say a three

03:31credit course as well now let's say this

03:35particular student got an A in chemistry

03:36a B in physics an A and lab let's say a

03:41B in calculus and then a and PE so what

03:46is the GPA for this particular student

03:48feel free to pause the video and try

03:51this example if you want to so first we

03:54need to determine the points for each

03:56letter grade an a is worth four points

04:00and a b is worth three points now let's

04:07multiply the credit hours by the prints

04:10so four times four is 16 and then we

04:14have 4 times 3 which is 12 next is 1

04:18times 4 so that's going to be 4 and then

04:223 times 3 is 9 and finally we have 3

04:27four which is 12 now let's calculate the

04:32total number of credit hours so four

04:37plus four is eight plus one that's 9

04:39plus 3 is 12 plus 3 is 15 now let's

04:44calculate the total quality points so 16

04:47plus 12 plus 4 plus 9 plus 12 I got 53

04:53points so the GPA is going to be 53

04:58divided by 15 and so the GPA is three

05:04point five three or three point five

05:08three repeating so do you think this

05:10answer makes sense now if a person

05:14received straight A's the GPA should be

05:17four if a person receives straight B's

05:20the GPA should be three and as we could

05:24see this particular student received a

05:26mixture of A's and B's so we expect that

05:29their GPA should be between 3 & 4 which

05:33we do see them
