Formula for Calculating GWA in PUP

Here’s how the GWA is calculated:

GWA=∑(Grade×Units)∑(Units)\text{GWA} = \frac{\sum (\text{Grade} \times \text{Units})}{\sum (\text{Units})}GWA=∑(Units)∑(Grade×Units)​

Step-by-step:

  • Multiply the final grade for each subject by its number of units.
  • Add all these results together.
  • Divide that sum by the total number of units you took.

Example:
Suppose you have 3 subjects:

  • Subject 1: Grade 1.50, Units 3
  • Subject 2: Grade 2.25, Units 2
  • Subject 3: Grade 1.75, Units 4

Calculation:

GWA=(1.50×3)+(2.25×2)+(1.75×4)3+2+4=4.5+4.5+79=169≈1.78\text{GWA} = \frac{(1.50 \times 3) + (2.25 \times 2) + (1.75 \times 4)}{3+2+4} = \frac{4.5+4.5+7}{9} = \frac{16}{9} \approx 1.78GWA=3+2+4(1.50×3)+(2.25×2)+(1.75×4)​=94.5+4.5+7​=916​≈1.78
