Suppose freshman year, first semester I get a 3.25 gpa, and the last semester of freshman year I get a 4.0. Assume I get a 4.0 the rest of my high school career.. What gpa can I end with? And will it be a good gpa ??

Respuesta :

it depends on how many semesters you have
in my school ther are 2 symesters so
to find the gpa you average

4 years in hight school
2 ysmpersers each
4 times 2=8
so we do
total gpa=3.25+4+4+4+4+4+4+4=31.25
to take the average, we divide by number of symesters
31.25/8=3.9
average gpa is 3.9 which is decent
sometimes you need over 4.0 so take some AP or honors or weighted classes
Most high schools require 24 credits over 4 years to graduate. A credit is a year long class.  So you will be taking 48 half-credits.  This is important so you can calculate that each semester you take 6 half-credits (let's call them "units"). 

If you have a 3.25 and 6 units, you have 6 x 3.25 = 19.5 points.
If you get a 4.0 x 42 (units left to go) = 168 points

168 + 19.5 = 187.5 total points

187.5 points divided by 48 units = 187.5 / 48 = 3.91 GPA

If you take more or less courses, perhaps you can plug in your numbers and adjust your points accordingly.  Better yet, head over to a website like www.afouro.com which has a pretty great GPA calculator where you can save your grades.
