Come usare GPA Calculator (4.0) for Independent Learners
- List your courses. Add each class or module you've completed. For self-study, treat a finished MOOC, exam, or textbook unit as one course.
- Enter the credit hours. Use the official credit value if it's a real course, or estimate based on workload (3 credits ≈ a standard semester class).
- Pick the letter grade. Choose A, A-, B+, and so on. The calculator maps each to its 4.0 scale value automatically.
- Add more rows as needed. Stack as many courses as you want — there's no cap. Mix completed and in-progress work to model different scenarios.
- Read your GPA. Your weighted GPA updates instantly. Compare it to common benchmarks like 3.0 (solid), 3.5 (strong), or 3.7+ (honors-level).
- Tweak and replay. Change a grade or credit value to see how one course swings your average. Great for setting realistic goals.
