Just a one number summary of how you did across all your subjects. The way it's calculated is different for different schools. But generally each individual subjects grades (A, B, C, D, E (if applicable), F - including plus/or minus) are assigned values between 0 and 4. 0 being the word, 4 being the best. The grades can be decimals.
eg: A+=4, A=3.5, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.5, E=1.0, F=0.5, U/G=0
So if you've got four subjects and scored 3 points on each, then you add them up (12) and divide them by number of subjects. GPA of 3.
This is looking at it simplistically though - the numbers are completely wrong.

And good luck with your scores booyah
