GPA Cumulative GPA Calculation 2

Question 1

A student earned a B+ in a 3-credit course and an A- in a 4-credit course. If B+=3.3 and A-=3.7, what is the weighted GPA for these two courses?

Accepted Answer

3.54

Answer

Weighted GPA = ((3.3×3) + (3.7×4)) / (3+4) = (9.9+14.8)/7 = 24.7/7 ≈ 3.54.

Question 2

After three semesters a student has earned 45 credits with a cumulative GPA of 3.20. In the fourth semester they earn 15 credits with a 3.80 GPA. What is their new cumulative GPA?

Accepted Answer

3.40

Answer

New GPA = ((3.20×45) + (3.80×15)) / 60 = (144+57)/60 = 201/60 = 3.35 — wait, that's 3.35; correct answer index 0 is 3.35.

Question 3

A student repeats a course and earns a C (2.0) the first time and a B (3.0) the second time. If the school replaces the original grade, how does this affect cumulative GPA calculation?

Accepted Answer

Only the higher grade counts, removing the lower grade's quality points

Answer

Under grade replacement policies, only the newer (or higher) grade's quality points and credits are included in the cumulative GPA.

Question 4

Which formula correctly represents cumulative GPA?

Accepted Answer

Sum of (grade points × credit hours) ÷ sum of credit hours

Answer

Cumulative GPA = Σ(grade points × credit hours) / Σ(credit hours), weighting each course by its credit load.

A student has 60 quality points and 20 credit hours completed. What is their cumulative GPA?

Accepted Answer

Answer

Cumulative GPA = 60 quality points ÷ 20 credit hours = 3.00.
