  1. I want to get into PSEO so it's very important that I keep my GPA above 3.7, because I want badly to get into this program. It's important to care about your GPA because collages look into your grades back until the 6th grade to see if you're a valid and good student to come into their collage.

  5. my gpa is 3.85. I suppose I would like it to be higher, but it's not that bad. Mostly the reason it's not a 4.0 is my lack of homework doing. I hate homework, and I guess it shows. I suppose the only way to improve this is to buckle down and do my dang homework.

  6. 2. It's around what I expected
    3.Turn in missing assignments and do the extra credit for math
    4. It all adds up in the long run and could increase your total average.

  7. It is higher than I expected :)

    I think to make my grades higher, I should make sure I bring my grade up in Spanish so I have all A's and then also keep all my grades as A's

    Even though we are in 10th grade, it still counts. Colleges still look at our 10th grade report cards. We need a certain GPA to do PSEO. Also, it makes your parents happy when you get good grades.

  8. 2. It is 1 point lower than what I thought was my GPA.
    3. To raise my GPA I need to study as much as possible for my semester exams in 3 of my classes in order to raise my GPA.
    4. (From what I've heard)Colleges look at your GPA from 9-12 grade, it adds up all together overall.

  11. 1) Calculate your current semesters GPA using http://www.back2college.com/gpa.htm. (All your courses this semester are worth 1 credit hour) What is it?
    I have a 1.57.

    2) Is it lower or higher then you expected?
    Lower

    3) Outline a plan of what you can/should do over the next three or four days to raise your GPA?
    My plan would be too long to put on here, but my GPA will be 2.0, and then I'm going to have to get all A's for the rest of the year to have a 3.1. It doesn't sound likely to go from a 1.57 to a 4.0, but I'm going to have to do it. I don't have a choice.

    4) What are three reasons for caring about your GPA even though you are only a sophomore in high school?
    College, PSEO, scholarships.
