Which scale does my school use?
Look at the registrar's grading page or the legend on a transcript. Two tells identify the 4.33 convention: an A+ worth more than a plain A, and in-between values ending in .33 or .67 (a 3.67 A– instead of 3.7). If your school caps A+ at 4.0 — or does not award A+ — you are on the standard scale, and the 4.0 GPA calculator is the right tool. The letter-to-GPA converter shows both ladders side by side for any single grade.
Questions
How is the 4.33 scale different from the 4.0 scale?
Two ways. An A+ earns 4.33 instead of being capped at 4.0, so a term GPA can sit above 4.00. And the in-between steps are x.33 and x.67 (an A- is 3.67, not 3.7), which shifts every mixed GPA slightly. Same letters, different table, different number.
Whose ladder is the default table?
The one published by Simon Fraser University, Thompson Rivers University, and Kwantlen Polytechnic University: A+ 4.33, A 4.00, A- 3.67, down to D at 1.00 and F at 0.00. Every value is editable, because your school's published table wins.
Why are there no D+ or D- rows?
The published 4.33 ladders this tool defaults to do not have them - schools on this convention grade a plain D. If your school's 4.33 variant does publish D+ or D- values, this tool cannot add rows; the 4.0 GPA calculator carries the full thirteen-letter table and every value there is editable too.
Can my GPA really be above 4.0?
On this scale, yes. A term of straight A+ grades computes to exactly 4.33. Schools that use the 4.33 convention publish it that way; schools on the standard 4.0 scale cap an A+ at 4.0 instead.
Which scale does my school use?
Check the registrar's grading page or the back of a transcript. If A+ is worth more than A, or you see values like 3.67 and 2.33, you are on a 4.33-style scale. If A+ and A are both 4.0, or you see 3.7 and 2.3, you are on the standard 4.0 scale and the site's main GPA calculator is the right tool.
