Question about exam/GPA

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

Hi! I have a question about one of my exams this semester. This is my first post, so please let me know if I put it in the wrong spot (and move it to the correct spot if you are able to!)

So, I’m a high school freshman and I’m a bit stressed out about my grade in my gym class. In this class, I have a very high A (99%) but I might not get an A on the exam. The exam is just combined grades of a bunch of assignments I’ve had this semester, and I’ve gotten quite a few points off on some. The final 2 have yet to be graded, and it got me thinking:

If I have a B as my exam grade, but my overall final grade in the class is still an A, will that lower my GPA at all?
Thanks!

What’s your GPA?

It depends upon how your HS calculates GPA. Some calculate it off the final grade only; others calculate it of the quarters plus the semester exams. This is a question for your GC. But 2 things:

1/ Don’t worry about things that won’t happen.
2/ Nobody will care what your grade is in gym (assuming you pass.)

@BiologyMajorHere My last report card says 4.308, with 4.0 as the cumulative GPA. Not sure what it is for this quarter, though, since my report card isn’t out yet. I have all A’s though, if that helps.


@skieurope I'll have to ask my GC then. Thank you!

Some high schools give grades in gym but do not count gym grades in the gpa so check on your own school policy
