How can I raise my GPA?

<p>I'm currently a sophomore in high school with a 3.8182 GPA. I know, I know... it's not low at all, but I want to raise it to the highest it can be. In 9th grade, I got 4 semester B's and 10 semester A's. Let's just say I get straight A's for the rest of high school, what would my GPA be? Could it get any higher than a 3.82?</p>

<p>Uh, yeah, it’ll get higher if you get straight A’s.</p>

<p>You could easily have a 3.9 if you manage to get a 4. from sophomore to junior year, do the math.</p>

<p>I’ve done the math so many times, but either I’m crazy or something is wrong with my calculator. </p>

<p>How do you do the math? I’m really confused.</p>

<p>EDIT</p>

<p>Here are my grades from last year (by semester, all honors except for one):</p>

<p>A (regular), B (regular), (rest are honors) B, B, A, A, A, A, A, A, B, A, A, A</p>

<p>Regular: 1 A, 1 B
Honors: 9 As, 3 Bs</p>

<p>I got 3.7143, but my school said my GPA is a 3.8182… ?</p>

<p>Let’s just say I get straight A’s for the rest of high school, what would my GPA be?</p>

<p>A. There appears to be an approximate .1039 bonus point addition to your actual GPA in your school, so using that, you could get 4.1039 max your sophomore year, (assuming your class/credit number is the same size as your freshman) you would get an average of 3.96105. </p>

<p>Could it get any higher than a 3.82?</p>

<p>B. 3.9105>3.82</p>

<p>I’m taking 8 APs and also 6 IBs for high school, so could it ever get to a 4.0 or higher? My friend said no because that’s like saying if you have a B, will it ever become an A? No. </p>

<p>An exact calculation is not necessary.</p>

<p>Your weighted GPA could be 4.0 or over, just not your unweighted GPA.</p>

<p>Could by unweighted GPA ever be a 4.0?</p>

<p>It could possibly depending on your school’s rounding system. A friend got a few B’s but took enough classes and ended up with a 3.987 or something like that and it rounded up on the school’s computer.</p>

<p>Thanks, everyone! I’m definitely talking to my guidance counselor about this.</p>
