A few questions?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Hey!</p>

<p>So I'm a high school senior.
I am calculating my GPA and I am not quite sure if I'm doing it right.</p>

<p>For example, in my sophomore year I got the following grades in Geometry:</p>

<p>First quarter: B
Second quarter: C
= First semester: C
Third quarter: B
Fourth quarter: B
= Second semester: B </p>

<p>Question So could I add the semester grades (2.0+3.0) and divide by 2 = 2.5? Or add the quarter grades (3.0+2.0+3.0+3.0) and divide by 4 to get 2.75? </p>

<p>What would my final grade be? The school I went to didn't use +/-'s. </p>

<p>Now I go to a different school and instead of quarters, we have (I'm not sure if this is the right word, but) trimesters (?). We have the first 6 weeks grade, the second 6 weeks grade, and the 3rd 6 weeks grade and then the semester grade.</p>

<p>Question In AP Physics, I got a B for the first 6 weeks. How could I possibly still get an A for the semester?</p>

<p>Question I only took 1 AP Class (the max allowed by my school..yeah I know) my junior year and scored a 3 on the AP exam. I am taking 3 AP's now as a senior. Can I still get AP Scholar if I get 3's and 4's on the upcoming AP exams in May, even though I'm a senior? </p>

<p>Last one.
I took the ACT in June, and when I took it I was really sick and on top of that, extremely exhausted (I got no sleep the night before). I ended up getting a (yikes!) 21. I made sure to NOT send this to any high school or college, instead just to me. So it can't be on my record and no college knows about it. Fortunately, I heard something about deleting a score.
Question So could I write the ACT and have them completely terminate that score? </p>

<p>Thank you all so much! I know I'm asking a lot of questions but I'm a very stressed out senior.</p>

<p>Think of it as four one-quarter-credit classes rather than a single one-credit class with a different grade each quarter. So your GPA for this class will be the number of grade points divided by the number of credits attempted, or </p>

<p>[(3/4)+(2/4)+(3/4)+(2/4)]/1=(3+2+3+3)/4= 2.75</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>How is the final grade calculated?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, but it won’t do you any good.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Not that I know of, but there’s no good reason to do that anyway. Just take it again and get a better score.</p>

<p>Awesome. </p>

<p>In English I got a B one quarter and an A the rest of the quarters. After adding everything up and dividing by 4, I get a 3.75. Would that be an A- or a B as an overall grade for the class?</p>

4

<p>Probably an A- assuming the school does pluses and minuses, but your transcript will show your quarter grades.</p>

5

<p>No, my school said that they only report semester grades. And my school doesn’t do plus/minuses.</p>

6

<p>If your school only reports semester grades than it means you had a 2.5 in the example you gave…</p>

7

<p>ok great lol thanks</p>

<p>2.5
Yes…work hard.
Yes. Might have to self study.
It counts.</p>
