It is intentionally simpler than a multi-term planner: one semester in, one GPA out. Use it to set a target before the term starts, to check your work in progress or to see how a strong final week would shift the average. For a full degree view, the GPA Calculator carries over all rows, and the High School GPA Converter handles scale translation.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good semester GPA?
On a 4.0 scale anything above 3.5 is usually considered strong, above 3.0 is solidly above average, and 2.0 is the minimum many schools consider passing.
Should I use the 4.0 or 4.3 scale?
Use the scale your registrar publishes. The 4.3 scale lets an A+ count for 4.3 grade points instead of 4.0, which is more common at Canadian and some US schools.
