🎓 GPA Calculator

GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated using a weighted average formula:

GPA = (Sum of Grade Points × Credits) / Total Credits

Letter Grade to GPA Conversion:

Letter Grade	Percentage Range	GPA Points
A	94-100	4.0
A-	90-93	3.7
B+	87-89	3.3
B	83-86	3.0
B-	80-82	2.7
C+	77-79	2.3
C	73-76	2.0
C-	70-72	1.7
D+	67-69	1.3
D	60-66	1.0
F	0-59	0.0

Grade Rounding: Percentages are rounded to the nearest integer before conversion. For example:

• 93.5% → rounds to 94% → A (not A-)
• 89.5% → rounds to 90% → A- (not B+)
• 93.4% → rounds to 93% → A-

Automatic Grading Breakdown Extraction:

When you upload a syllabus, our system uses AI to automatically extract the grading breakdown from your professor's syllabus document.

What we extract:

• Assessment names (e.g., "Midterm Exam", "Final Project", "Homework")
• Percentage weights for each assessment component
• Course information (professor name, course title, semester)

Manual adjustments:

• If the automatic parsing is incorrect, you can manually add, edit, or delete assessments
• Use the "+ Add Assessment" button to add missing components
• Click the "×" button next to any assessment to remove it
• The system ensures total percentages don't exceed 100%

Smart Grade Suggestions:

When you set a target grade, our AI calculates what you need to achieve on remaining assessments to reach your goal.

The formula:

Required Average = (Target % - Current %) / Remaining % × 100

How it works:

• Analyzes your current performance on completed assessments
• Calculates the gap between your current grade and target grade
• Distributes requirements intelligently across remaining assessments based on their weights
• Adjusts for trends - if you're performing well, suggestions are more optimistic

Example:

• Current grade: 80% (completed 50% of course)
• Target grade: B (83%)
• Calculation: (83 - 80) / 50 × 100 = 6% needed
• Result: "Need 86% average on remaining assessments for B"

Calculation Method:

Our GPA calculator uses standard academic formulas for weighted averages:

GPA = (Sum of Grade Points × Credits) / Total Credits

What we calculate:

• We use the standard 4.0 scale with letter grade conversions
• Grade rounding is applied consistently (e.g., 93.5% → 94% = A)
• Weighted averages use standard academic formulas

Additional features:

• Course-level grade tracking with assessment breakdowns
• AI-powered predictions for remaining assessments
• Real-time updates as you enter grades
• Projected GPA based on current performance trends

Note: Always verify important GPA calculations with your institution's official calculator, as grading scales may vary.
