What’s the Difference Between a Weighted and Unweighted GPA?

Your unweighted GPA is an average of all your grades without taking into account the rigor of the associated courses.

For example, a B in AP U.S. History is the same as a B in regular History according to this scale. A weighted GPA adds credit for more rigorous courses.

Typically AP, IB Higher Level, and college courses receive a +1.0-point boost when calculating GPA.

Similarly, Honors, IB Standard Level, and Dual Enrollment classes give a +0.5-point boost to the student’s GPA. Only by taking these more rigorous courses can a student earn a GPA above the standard 4.0 value.
