🎓 College GPA Standards (4.0 Scale)
In most US and international universities, the 4.0 scale is the gold standard. Credits in college represent the hours spent per week in that course. A 4-credit course has double the impact on your GPA compared to a 2-credit elective.
💡 Pro Tip for College Students
Always check if your college uses Plus/Minus grading (e.g., A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3). Our calculator allows you to input these specific weights for a 100% accurate result.
