  1. GPA

    Grading in education is the process of applying standardized measurements for varying levels of achievements in a course. Grades can be assigned as letters (usually A through F), as a range (for example, 1 to 6), as a percentage, or as a number out of a possible total (often out of 100).In some countries, grades are averaged to create a grade point average (GPA). GPA is calculated by using the number of grade points a student earns in a given period of time. GPAs are often calculated for high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, and can be used by potential employers or educational institutions to assess and compare applicants. A cumulative grade point average (CGPA), sometimes referred to as just GPA, is a measure of performance for all of a student's courses.

    GPA, or Grade Point Average, is a numerical calculation used in educational systems to measure a student's academic performance. It is calculated by dividing the total number of grade points a student has earned by the total number of credit hours attempted. Different scales can be used, but the most common one in the U.S is a 4.0 scale where an 'A' grade represents a 4.0. The GPA can be used by universities or colleges to assess whether students are meeting standards and it’s often a criterion for awards, honors, and admissions to further education.

Examples of GPA in a Sentence

  1. Rashad Jennings:

    That's when I had to tell him the truth, i had a.6 GPA( a barely passing D-minus grade point average) at the time. He said,' Son, you have potential.' But that changed me. That was the first time, outside of people who are supposed to support me, anyone saw that I had potential.

  2. Suniya Luthar:

    We've got to stop this business of letting kids believe that if I just get into one more AP class, if I just get another GPA point, that will make the difference in getting into Harvard ... or Princeton ... and the feeling that if I don't go to Harvard or Princeton, that essentially, my life is over.

  3. Stephanie Donaldson-Pressman:

    The cost is enormous, the data shows that homework over this level is not only not beneficial to children's grades or GPA, but there's really a plethora of evidence that it's detrimental to their attitude about school, their grades, their self-confidence, their social skills and their quality of life.
