  1. grade point average

    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.

    Grade Point Average, commonly referred to as GPA, is a numerical measurement used in educational systems to evaluate and reflect a student's academic performance. Derived by either dividing the accumulated final grades by the total number of grades awarded, or by assigning points to individual grade components and then averaging those points, it provides a consistent indication of a student's comprehension and achievement within their courses. It is often on a 4.0 or 5.0 scale, with 4.0 or 5.0 being the highest possible average.
