StudentShare Has Launched a New Service - Free GPA Calculator

    NEW YORK, NY, June 25, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- On June 1st, 2017 a student platform StudentShare launched a new tool - Free GPA Calculator. The tool allows calculating the GPA both for college and for high school students. StudentShare team reasons a release of such tool by a high demand among students and their parents. The fact that GPA is one of the most important metrics of student academic performance makes the tool popular solution for those who care about their further study or employment.

Since the platform's audience is not limited to college students only, the team has decided to present an extended version of the calculator. It is applicable both for college and high school grade systems. GPA Calculator defines an average point, depending on an amount of course credits and type of class a student has attended.

College and High School GPA calculators are two separate systems for calculating an average study result. GPA for college is counted on 4.0 scale. To figure out their average score, students point out a grade and amount of credits for each course. A number of courses that can be included in calculating is unlimited. There is also an option to add another semester. This allows defining a student's cumulative GPA which means an average score for all past semesters. When a student points out the letter grade, the system automatically converts it into the numeric equivalent. A student gets the final GPA results in a form of number rounded to the nearest hundredth.

StudentShare's Calculator defines both the unweighted and weighted GPA, depending on the user's request. The unweighted grade point average is counted by adding the grades and division its result by the number of courses. The weighted result, instead, is calculated given the difficulty level of each course. The first type is applicable to define a grade point average for all college students.

The weighted results are important for high school students who have attended the advanced classes. To calculate a high school GPA, students need to fill the field with a grade and a level of each class: regular, honors or AP. For regular class, max GPA is 4.0 similarly to the college system. For an honors class grade, the calculator adds 0,5 point. For AP (advanced placement) classes, 1 point is added to each grade. Thus, the final result is calculated given the difficulty level of each class.

Using the tool doesn't require registration and is completely free for every student.
