A student’s GPA is equal to the sum of the total quality points earned, divided by the number of courses completed during high school.

A 4 points

Grades earned on end-of-course exams required for high school courses designated by Kentucky Administration Regulation shall count as twenty percent (20%) of a student’s final grade in a course.
