Formula for Semester GWA

Semester GWA = (Sum of all (Grade × Units)) ÷ (Total Units)

This formula takes into account the importance (units) of each subject for an accurate average.

Example

If you took 5 subjects:

  • Math: 1.75 (3 units)
  • English: 2.00 (3 units)
  • Science: 1.50 (4 units)
  • PE: 1.00 (2 units)
  • Filipino: 2.25 (3 units)

Calculation:
(1.75×3 + 2.00×3 + 1.50×4 + 1.00×2 + 2.25×3) ÷ (3+3+4+2+3)
= (5.25 + 6.00 + 6.00 + 2.00 + 6.75) ÷ 15
= 26.00 ÷ 15 = 1.73

Your semester GWA is 1.73.
