<p>Hey Guys,</p>
<p>Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I have never been sure how to figure out my gpa on the 4.0 scale. I know how to figure out the overall average, but I'm not sure if it's similar in any way.</p>
<p>My first semester just finished, so here is how it turned out.</p>
<p>English 2 Honors- 92
Religion- 89
Geometry-87
German-82
Latin 2-80
Chemistry-80</p>
<p>Wasn't sure how to figure it out. But would appreciate any feedback? Thanks..</p>
<p>First, turn your grades into letters:</p>
<p>English 2 Honors = A-
Religion = B+<br>
Geometry = B+<br>
German = B-<br>
Latin 2 = B-
Chemistry = B- </p>
<p>Your GPA is 3.06666666667, using the method given by the College board. Here is the link:
[How</a> to Convert Your GPA to a 4.0 Scale](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>How to Convert (Calculate) Your GPA to a 4.0 Scale – BigFuture)</p>
<p>Above a 3.0 is solid, and in your case, not too much more effort would be required to get Religion and English up to A’s. Also, do try to get those B-'s up to at least B’s. But if you got those grades up a little, you would have:
English = A
Religion = A
Geometry = B+
German = B
Latin 2 = B
Chemistry = B
GPA= 3.38, which looks much better than 3.0666666667.
Good luck. </p>
<p>EDIT: Oh, on the plus side, your classes are somewhat impressive, just get your grades up a little (And avoid C’s). And please, take Latin all four years of high school. It looks great and only gets easier as you get better. I took Latin 2 H freshman year, got a B+ with a huge effort, and am now taking AP Latin Vergil with an A, with far less effort. You seem pretty smart, but you need to do a bit more work. </p>
<p>Just view it as a game if you find yourself unmotivated.</p>
<p>Thanks for the feedback! I was disappointed in myself in the grades I received in chemistry and latin 2. The first marking periods I struggled, but did much better in the second marking period to bring it back up.</p>
<p>My parents are keep suggesting to me to take latin all four years. The way our school works is next year I am taking history, so if I take latin for a third year that would be considered as my elective.</p>
<p>Overall though, it’s early in sophomore year, so I have plenty of time to get my grades up where I need it to be.</p>
<p>I hear ya. First quarter for me is always the hardest. Luckily, I’m a junior so I’m almost done with high school. </p>
<p>Just aim for straight A’s and see what you get. Always aim really high, so that way you work hard, and though you may not get straight A’s (which I dont, BTW) you still get good grades.</p>
<p>You are obviously intelligent. Your grades are just a matter of work. And taking latin all four years was probably my smartest decision, so I definitely advise it.</p>
