How Weighted GPA Works
Formula: Weighted GPA = Total Weighted Grade Points / Total Credits
Grade Points per Course = Letter Grade Value × Credits × Weight Multiplier
Weight Multipliers:
- Regular courses: ×1.0 (no change)
- Honors courses: ×1.05 (5% boost)
- AP/IB courses: ×1.10 (10% boost)
Note: Some schools use different weighting systems (e.g., +0.5 or +1.0 for AP courses). Check with your school for their specific policy.
