- This depends on what class you are taking. Most schools have all grades above 90+ count as a 4.0. However, AP classes usually have a weight of 5.0, and some schools weigh harder classes differently. You should figure out how your school weighs their GPAs and calculate your GPA accordingly.
- The best way to estimate GPA is by using a calculator. First divide 11.54/20 and multiply by 100 to get the percentage, which would be 57.7%. Then divide 57.7 by 20, which is 2.885. Now subtract 1 from 2.885, which is 1.885 (5-point system) or 0.885 (4-point system) (D-).
- Your teacher can probably tell you your grade percentage. But if you want to figure it out, you need to know your marks for all your quizzes, projects, etc. You can probably find some converter for letter grades. You also need to know what weighting each assignment has for your final mark. Convert your marks into the weighted percentages, then add them all up.
- Unless your school grades on a scale greater than 4 (some schools grade on a five-point scale, for example). or there is some kind of weight attached to certain classes (such as adding 0.5 to an advanced course), it is not possible to have a GPA greater than 4.0.
- If it is out of 5, then 3.66666 is your GPA. If it is weighted, then you will need to find your unweighted GPA.
