FAQ

Common questions

What's the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?

Unweighted GPA treats every course the same โ€” an A is 4.0 regardless of difficulty. Weighted GPA adds a +0.25 bonus for AP and IB courses to reflect their extra rigor, matching how DAA officially reports GPA.

Why does AP get a bonus but Honors doesn't?

According to DAA's curriculum handbook, only AP and IB (SL and HL) courses receive the 0.25 weighting boost. Honors courses are not weighted differently at Dubai American Academy.

What do Year (1.0) and Semester (0.5) credits mean?

A year-long course counts as 1.0 credit and is weighted more heavily in your GPA. A semester course counts as 0.5 credit. Getting this right ensures each grade is proportionally factored into your average.

Can I save my data and come back later?

Yes โ€” click the save icon (floppy disk) in the top-right header. Your courses, grades, and semester history are stored in your browser's local storage. Hit the load icon anytime to restore them.

Is this calculator affiliated with Dubai American Academy?

No. This tool was independently built by Ali Ballan as a personal project with no affiliation, endorsement, or official connection to Dubai American Academy or its staff. Always verify your GPA with your official school records.

What grade-point scale does DAA use?

DAA uses a 4.0 base scale: A+/A = 4.0, Aโˆ’ = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, Bโˆ’ = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, Cโˆ’ = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, Dโˆ’ = 0.7, F = 0.0. AP and IB courses add 0.25 to whichever value applies.
