Calculate your weighted GPA

Unweighted GPA uses a 4.0 scale where every class is treated equally. Weighted GPA gives extra credit for harder courses — typically +0.5 for Honors and +1.0 for AP, IB, and dual-enrollment classes — so an A in an AP class is worth 5.0 instead of 4.0.

Yes. Under the common +1.0 AP / +0.5 Honors weighting used by most US public high schools, an A in an AP course is worth 5.0 and an A in Honors is worth 4.5. Students taking advanced course loads commonly land in the 4.2–4.7 weighted range. Most districts cap at 5.0; a few use +2.0 AP weighting and can go to 6.0 — see our GPA Scale guide for every common scale.

Most selective colleges recalculate your GPA on a standard scale and consider course rigor separately. They want to see both that you took challenging classes and that you did well in them.

Schools weight differently. Some only weight AP, others include dual-enrollment, some cap the bonus per semester. Use the school weighting scale dropdown to match your district's policy, or check your school's GPA handbook for the exact formula.

On the standard +1.0 scale, an A in an AP class is worth 5.0 quality points instead of 4.0. Over a year of four AP A's, your weighted GPA can sit at 5.0 while your unweighted stays at 4.0.
