GPA (Grade Point Average) is a standardized way to measure academic performance. In the US 4.0 system, each letter grade maps to a point value, and your GPA is the weighted averageof those points based on each course's credit hours — heavier courses carry more weight.
A GPA of 4.0 is a perfect score. Most universities consider 3.0 (a B average) to be satisfactory and 3.5 or above to be honours-level performance.
For example: an A (4.0) in a 3-credit course and a B (3.0) in a 4-credit course gives GPA = (4.0×3 + 3.0×4) ÷ (3 + 4) = 24 ÷ 7 ≈ 3.43.
