Freshmen year is about to end, and I am wondering how my grade point average will be calculated. Are they going to take my 2 semester grades for a class and average them out to get the yearly average for that class?
No one here can answer that. Ask your school.
In my school, yes they do average the two quarter grades and that’s your grade for your semester. However, that’s not what you asked. You asked if they take two semester grades and average them out, and most of the time the answer is no. Each semester is each semester’s own grade, they do not average them, typically. However, I think it would be best if you did ask your school, as they would know more than anyone here.
Schools do it differently. Email your guidance counselor and ask him/her.
