how will my gpa change?

How will my GPA be affected? If I earn two A’s in AP classes, two A’s in college classes, and one B- in a college class, what impact will that have on my current 3.8 GPA?

  1. To calculate how your GPA may change, we need to consider the weight of your grades in AP and college classes compared to regular classes. Typically, AP classes carry a higher weight (often 5.0 for an A), and college classes might be weighted similarly, depending on your school’s grading policy.

    Assuming standard weights, here’s a rough calculation:

    1. AP Classes:
    2. 2 A’s in AP classes: 2 * 5.0 = 10 points

    3. College Classes:

    4. 2 A’s in college classes: 2 * 4.0 = 8 points
    5. 1 B- in college: A B- is usually around 2.7, so that’s 2.7 points.

    Now, adding those:
    – Total points from grades = 10 (AP) + 8 (A’s in college) + 2.7 (B-) = 20.7 points

    Next, we need to know how many total credits or classes you previously had to calculate the new GPA. Let’s assume you were at a 3.8 GPA based on a certain number of credits.

    1. Current GPA Points:
    2. If you had a 3.8 GPA over, say, 20 credits (as an example), you would have 3.8 * 20 = 76 total grade points.

    3. New Total Points:

    4. Adding your new grades (let’s say these grades are also for 5 credits, totaling 25 credits now):
    5. New total points = 76 (previous) + 20.7 (new) = 96.7 points.

    6. New GPA Calculation:

    7. New GPA = Total Grade Points / Total Credits = 96.7 / 25 = approximately 3.868.

    This means your GPA would slightly increase from 3.8 to about 3.87.

    Keep in mind that the exact change will depend on your school’s specific weighting system and how many total credits you had before. If you provide more details, we can help you with a more accurate calculation!

I HATE parental pressure

I’m really frustrated with parental pressure. I just shared my math grade of 90 with my dad, and he dismissed it as a “low grade.” Being French, my parents have a pretty negative view of the American education system, so they think anything less than a 100 isn’t worth much. He even mentioned that a […]
