<p>Is GPA calculated by each marking period grade, or by final grades? It only makes sense to me for GPA to be calculated by final grades because marking period grades do not take into account mid-term and final test grades, but I have heard otherwise. Any know for sure?</p>
<p>our school calculates the GPA based on the semester grade - so twice per year.</p>
<p>it depends on your school. this question will probably be best answered by your guidance counselor. my school does it after sophomore year and then again after junior year.</p>
