Education Tools

Education tools for the academic-administration math that students, parents, teachers, and advisors do every term: GPA across mixed credit systems, end-of-term grade projection from work already turned in, and what-if scenarios for the final exam (what grade do I need on the final to lock in a B). The GPA calculator handles the US 4.0 scale (with both 4.0 and 4.3 A+ policies), the International Baccalaureate scale, and primary and lower-secondary grading conventions. Honors and AP weighting is configurable because schools handle weighting differently and a single hard-coded rule would be wrong for a large fraction of students. The common misconception is that all credit hours weigh the same in a cumulative GPA; they do not, which is why the GPA tools here multiply grade points by credits before summing. If you are new to the category, start with the GPA tools at the end of each term to confirm what your transcript will show, and the grade projections mid-semester when you want to know what you need on remaining assignments to hit a target grade. The tools assume your school's scale matches one of the supported standards; if your institution uses a custom scale, the custom-scale mode is the right place to encode it.
