Target GPA Calculator
Set a GPA target and see what it really takes: enter your current CGPA, completed credit hours and remaining courses to find the average grade you must earn.
Grade Plan (for remaining courses)
| Grade | Points | How many courses |
|---|
This is one possible combination — we split the grades from A=4.0 downward until the required average is met.
How to use
- Enter your current CGPA and completed credit hours.
- Enter the target GPA and remaining credit hours.
- Calculate — you will get the required average and a grade plan.
Tips
- If the required average is above 4.0, the target is impossible on this scale — set a realistic one.
- Focus extra effort on high credit-hour courses; they move the CGPA fastest.
- Confirm your university's scale first — some schools use 5.0 or different grade points.
- Plan one semester at a time; required averages shift as credit hours accumulate.
This calculator uses the 4.0 scale and assumes all courses have equal credit hours. Be sure to match it with your university's grading rules.
