How Adjusted & Simple GPA’s Are Calculated<br />

old figures in the Career Credits, Career Adjusted Quality Points, Career Simple Quality<br />

Points and Career Weight slots to give new figures for Career Credits, Career Adjusted<br />

Quality Points, Career Simple Quality Points and Career Weight.<br />

As an example, in a school using number grades, assume that a student has the following<br />

figures stored in his report card record following his sophomore year of high school.<br />

QP = Quality Points.<br />

CAREER CREDITS : 8.50 LAST CREDITS : 0.00<br />

CAREER A DJ USTED QP : 700.00 LAST ADJUSTED QP UPDATE : 0.00<br />

CAREER WEIGHT : 10.00 LAST WEIGHT UPDATE : 0.00<br />

CAREER SIMPLE QP : 680.00 LAST SIMPLE QP UPDATE : 0.00<br />

This student's career adjusted GPA is currently (700/10) or 70.00. This student's career<br />

simple GPA is currently (680/10) or 68.00. At the end of the student's junior year, an<br />

update is performed. During this update, the program calculates the following for this<br />

student's junior year grades:<br />

• JUNIOR YEAR (CURRENT) CREDITS : 4.00<br />

• JUNIOR YEAR (CURRENT) ADJUSTED QP : 400.00<br />

• JUNIOR YEAR (CURRENT) WEIGHT : 5.00<br />

• JUNIOR YEAR (CURRENT) SIMPLE QP : 390.00<br />

The current credits of 4.00 are added to the previous career credits of 8.50 to give a new<br />

career credits total of 12.50. The current adjusted quality points of 400 are added to the<br />

previous career quality points of 700 to give a new career quality points total of 1100.<br />

The current simple quality points of 390 are added to the previous career quality points<br />

of 680 to give a new career quality points total of 1070. Finally, the current weight of<br />

5.00 is added to the previous career weight of 10 to give a new career weight total of 15.<br />

This student's career adjusted GPA is now (1100/15) or 73.33 and his simple GPA is<br />

now (1070/15) or 71.33.<br />

After this update, the student's report card record will now contain these figures:<br />

CAREER CREDITS : 12.50 LAST CREDITS UPDATE : 4.00<br />

CAREER ADJUSTED QP : 1100.00 LAST ADJUSTED QP UPDATE : 400.00<br />

CAREER WEIGHT : 15.00 LAST WEIGHT UPDATE : 5.00<br />

CAREER SIMPLE QP : 1070.00 LAST SIMPLE QP UPDATE : 390.00<br />
