# Grades & GPA

Letter grades become grade points, commonly on a 4.0 scale, before they are averaged into a GPA, and a cumulative GPA repeats the average across all terms. Weighted course grades, the score needed on a final exam and grade conversions follow similar rules. Each school or country sets its own scale, so use your institution's official one.
