is it worth it?

<p>so my school has this weird gpa system in which every point counts. i currently have a 96 in chemistry and i'm exempt from the final. however, if i take it and make a 100, i would end up with a 97 in that class, thus raising my gpa by a small decimal of a point. if i don't take it, i don't even have to go to school that day. is that 1 point worth the effort spent preparing for this thing?</p>

<p>what happens if you dont make that 100?
lets say you get a 95, will that bring your average down?</p>

<p>yes
which is why i'm not taking it</p>

<p>Not worth it.</p>

<p>Definitely not worth it.</p>

<p>yea its definitely not worth it. unless you know for sure that you will destroy the final. other than that, don't worry about it....</p>

<p>Good question... if that class is really easy and you would feel confident in getting a higher then a 96-97 then I would say go for it... On the other hand it is risky with odds against you and laziness prevails.
I'm not sure, if you mess up a little you'll still be towards the top of your class right? or even if you don't take it?
I not sure what I would do, I probably wouldn't take it but thats cause I hate chemistry and the Final would destroy me...</p>

<p>Colleges look at your transcript for a reason, they do their grades through their own GPA system. Definitely not worth it, especially if you get lower than a 96.</p>

<p>Heavens no! Sleep in and be proud of your awesome work. A 96 is amazing!</p>

<p>OP: If you're not taking it, why are you asking?</p>

<p>i wouldn't take it if it would hurt me, but at my school, if your exam can bring your grade down and you're exempt, it does not count</p>

<p>Don't do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
