How long will it take to bring a GPA of 2.77 to 3.0 in high school?

Answer 1

The time it takes to raise a GPA (grade-point average) from 2.0 to 3.0 depends on how many course hours are contributing to that 2.0 average thus far, how much time is left in school, and what subsequent grades one is able to earn. GPA (cumulative) is the sum of the grades for every course hour divided by the number of course hours taken (or planned). 1st example: If a student has completed only one semester so far, of 15 hours, with grades of C (2.0) in every class, his GPA is 2.0. He can raise his cumulative GPA to 3.0 after just one more semester by taking 15 more hours and earning grades of A in every class. (15 hours at 2.0 and 15 hours of 4.0 averages to a GPA of 3.0.) 2nd example: If another student has completed 2 full years at a 4-year college and holds a 2.0 average at that point, she must, in the next 2 years, take as many classes as in years 1-2 and earn all A's to average a 3.0 upon graduation. 3rd example: If a third student is holding a 2.0 average after 3 years (6 semesters) at a 4-year college, it is no longer possible to raise his average to a 3.0 by graduation. Earning all A's for the final year (assuming an equivalent course load) produces, in this example, only 30 hours at 4.0 to balance against 90 hours at 2.0. The cumulative grade-point average will be only 2.5. The calculation: GPA = ((90x2)+(30x4))/120 = (180+120)/120 = 300/120 = 2.5. For this student, with 3 years of C's, raising his average to 3.0 in one more year isn't possible. He would have to take and earn all A's in a triple load of 90 hours of courses his senior year! Alternatively, he could drag out his degree to 6 years (by avoiding some required courses until the last semester), and earning all A's for years 3-6.

We'll that depends on what grade you are in...If you are starting highschool and you have a 2.0 already...then YES, you can bring it to a 3.0 but you will have to work very hard from NOW to get pretty much ALL A's for it to go up that dramatically, because it will go up very slowly (2.2, 2.25, etc.) depening on your grades. If you are in your later years of highschool then NO you do NOT have a chance of that...you could bring it up a tiny bit with some good grades, but not from a 2.0 to a 3.0. And the longer you wait to fix your GPA...the less it will go up (even if you get all a's at this point) because after each semester(s)/year, more and more grades are being added on to the previous grades...so when you divide...the result will be less each year/stay the same. That is why people tell you to do good ALL four years! (9-12), so you do not get stuck in this nasty position of "gambling" with yourself to get the highest GPA you can get. If you started off getting A's and a few high B's here and there and you continue to go UP...like getting all A's the next year, next semester, etc. then your GPA will go up much, much faster as opposed to this scenario...where you have a very low-gpa and want to bring it up to a very high one (*high one in your case..since you have a 2.0). All i can tell you is Good Luck! and do your best from here on out! pssss.....the beter grades you get, the more colleges want you!!...but with a 2.0 your are very limited so go for that 3.0, so at least you can go somewhere! =]

Answer 3

It would depend on how many courses are taken per semester, and the grades received in those courses. So, it just depends on the individual.

Answer 4

It depends on how many classes are factored into that 2.77 GPA. The more classes,

the longer it will take to raise it.
