How to Calculate Your “a–g” GPA

Step 1: Count Your Grades

• Look at all your “a–g” courses taken after 9th grade (10th–12th grade only).
• For each grade you earned (A, B, C, D, or F), count how many times you received that grade.
• Ignore pluses and minuses.
• Example: B+ or B– both count as a B.
• Enter the number next to each letter grade in the chart.
• Example: If you earned four As in your courses, enter 4 in the “Count” column next to “A”

Step 2: Count Your Honors/AP/IB/College Courses
If you’ve taken any approved honors, Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), or college courses in grades 10–12:

• Count how many of these courses you completed with a C or better.
• Each semester counts separately (a full-year course = 2 semesters).
• You can only use up to 8 semesters total for extra honors points.
• Of the 8 honors points, only 2 semesters from 10th grade can be counted for honors credit (2 points).
• Do not count any honors courses where you earned a D or F.
• For college courses, each semester grade counts twice.
• Example: If you earned a B in a community college biology class, count it as 2 Bs.
