Frequently Asked Questions
How does the GPA calculator handle weighted vs unweighted grades?
The GPA calculator supports both weighted and unweighted scales. For unweighted GPA, it uses the standard 4.0 scale where an A equals 4.0, B equals 3.0, and so on. For weighted GPA, honors courses add 0.5 and AP/IB courses add 1.0 to the base grade point. You can add as many courses as you need and calculate both semester and cumulative GPA.
What citation formats does the citation generator support?
The citation generator supports APA 7th edition, MLA 9th edition, Chicago 17th edition (both notes-bibliography and author-date), and Harvard style. You can generate citations for books, journal articles, websites, and other source types. It builds a formatted bibliography that you can copy or export directly into your paper.
Can I use the grade calculator to figure out what I need on my final?
Yes. The grade calculator has a dedicated final exam mode where you enter your current grade, the weight of your final exam, and your target grade for the course. It instantly calculates the minimum score you need on the final to hit your goal. This is one of the most popular features — especially during finals week.
Do the flashcards support spaced repetition?
Yes. The flashcard maker includes a spaced repetition study mode that automatically schedules cards based on how well you know them. Cards you struggle with appear more frequently, while cards you have mastered are shown less often. You can also study in simple flip mode or take a quiz. Bulk import from text or CSV is supported, and you can export your deck as a PDF.
Are these tools accurate enough for college-level work?
Absolutely. The GPA calculator uses the same 4.0 scale used by virtually all US colleges and universities. The citation generator follows the latest editions of each style guide. Over 77 million students are enrolled in US colleges and universities, and tools like these are used daily for academic planning. That said, always double-check citations against your professor's specific requirements, as some departments have their own style variations.
