Hi everyone, I have seen this question asked many times without any proper answers, so I thought this should be the right moment for me to end such dilemma (Yes, I am a very smart guy, thanks :yes:

).

First of all, what is the equivalent of

No, Actually it doesn't count (as far as I know), so I guess you shouldn't count it too.

Well, read the above example, first of all you convert the A-Level grades into their equivalent US grades according to the tables in this file:
http://www.cie.org.uk/docs/recognition/Calculating%20GPAs%20for%20IGCSE.pdf
Then you add one 1 extra point to the numerical value of each A-Level subject, and 0.5 to each AS-Level one, since the AS-Level is half the weighting of
an A Level and is typically awarded half the credit value; see this document here:
http://www.cambridgeschool.ro/csb/Cambridge/PDF/A_AS_Factsheet.pdf

Therefore, An A A-Level would have a US Numerical value of 4.0+1=5
B in the A-Level would have a US Numerical value of 3.7+1=4.7
C in the AS-Level would have a US Numerical value of 3.0+0.5=3.5
Then you add all the Numerical values and divide them by the number of courses (just like the very first PDF says)

is a 3.95 high school gpa good? its out of 4 right? I only used my CIE O Level grades. What is weighted and unweighted gpa? is it possible to clarify? im so confused.
