Our GED to GPA calculator quickly converts your GED scores into an estimated GPA for easy academic planning.
How to Use the GED to GPA Calculator
To use the GED to GPA calculator, please input your scores in the respective fields. Each score should be between 100 and 200. Once all scores are entered, click the “Calculate” button to see your GPA result.
Explanation of the GED to GPA Calculation
This calculator works by taking the scores from each GED subject—Math, Science, Social Studies, Language Arts Reading, and Language Arts Writing—and summing them up. The total score is then normalized to a 4.0 GPA scale by dividing the total score by 1000 (the maximum score possible) and then multiplying by 4.
For example, if you scored 150 in Math, 160 in Science, 155 in Social Studies, 170 in Language Arts Reading, and 165 in Language Arts Writing, the calculation would be:
Total Score = 150 + 160 + 155 + 170 + 165 = 800
GPA = (800 / 1000) * 4 = 3.20
