Calculating My Cumulative GPA
Hi everyone! I’m currently in high school and have had a pretty strong academic record until my sophomore year, but I’ve faced some challenges I prefer not to discuss. I started my freshman year with a perfect 4.0 GPA for both semesters. However, during my sophomore year, my GPA dropped to about 2.5 for both semesters. Now, in my junior year, I’ve improved with a 3.5 GPA in the first semester and a 4.0 in the second semester. Can anyone help me calculate my cumulative GPA so far? Thanks!
To calculate your cumulative GPA, you need to consider the grades and the number of semesters you’ve completed. Here’s how to break it down based on the information you provided:
Total for Freshman Year: (4.0 + 4.0) / 2 = 4.0
Sophomore Year:
Total for Sophomore Year: (2.5 + 2.5) / 2 = 2.5
Junior Year:
Now, we’ll calculate the cumulative GPA over all six semesters:
Total GPA points from each year:
– Freshman Year: 4.0
– Sophomore Year: 2.5
– Junior Year: 3.75
Now add these GPAs together and divide by the total number of semesters.
Total GPA = (4.0 + 2.5 + 3.75) / 3
= 10.25 / 3
= 3.42 (rounded to two decimal places)
Your cumulative GPA so far is approximately 3.42. Keep pushing through, and best of luck with the rest of your schooling!
