What is a GPA?

GPA 是什么？怎么算的？

GPA stands for Grade Point Average. It is a standard way of measuring academic achievement in Canada.
GPA全称是Grade Point Average，即平均成绩点数（平均分数、平均绩点）

GPA assumes a grading scale of A, B, C, D, F. Each grade is assigned a number of grade points. An A grade receives 4 points, a B=3, a C=2, a D=1, and an F=0. The process is the same whether you are working on secondary or college grades.

加拿大普通课程的GPA满分是4.0分，即A=4，B=3，C=2， D=1， F=0。而一些高级课程，如荣誉课程(Honor)，AP课程等，单科GPA满分可达5分，甚至6分。

GPA的精确度往往达到小数点后1到2位，如：3.0、3.45：

90 to 100% 4.0
85 to 89% 3.9
80 to 84% 3.7
77 to 79% 3.3
73 to 76% 3.0
70 to 72% 2.7
67 to 69% 2.3
63 to 66% 2.0
60 to 62% 1.7
57 to 59% 1.3
53 to 56% 1.0
50 to 52% 0.7
< 49 0.0

当然GPA的算法，有时因学校不同可能会有一些差异，具体还要根据学校而定。
