The formula to calculate the Quality Point Average (QPA) is:
\[ QPA = \frac{QP}{CH} \]
Where:
The quality points themselves are calculated using the following formula:
\[ QP = CH \cdot G \]
Where:
QPA is defined as the ratio of quality points earned to credit hours earned. QPA is a metric used in education to better understand how a student performed in a given semester.
What’s the difference between GPA and QPA? GPA and QPA are both used in similar ways, but while a GPA is the average of the grade points of all classes, a QPA is the average of the grade points times the credit hours of each class, then divided by the total number of credit hours.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the Quality Point Average (QPA):
\[ QPA = \frac{45}{15} = 3.00 \]
The Quality Point Average (QPA) is 3.00.
