Answer 1

First, talk to you guidance counselor and find out what your GPA is exactly. Then give it your best effort to get the best grades your capable of getting. If you're having trouble, get a tutor. If it's a matter of you just haven't been applying yourself then focus on your school work and look into taking an AP or excellerated class which can carry a heavier weight to it than your general or basic classes. Remember too, that colleges don't just look at your GPA. They also look at your SAT scores, what classes you've taken in general, and what extra-curricular activites you've been involved in in school. Again, talk to your guidance counselor for their input. If academically your not quite where you need to be for some colleges you can always do a year of community college to get yourself situated and established and then look to transfer. Hope this helps and good luck!

Answer 2

If you don't know how to raise your GPA by the time you are a Senior in H.S. you obviously haven't paying much attention to school as a Freshman, Sophomore or Junior. I'd say it's nearly too late. On the other hand, if you are truly dedicated to the idea that you might be able to make a very slight improvement, best wishes.
Your GPA is based on the number of classes you've taken and the grades you got in those classes. The more classes you've taken, the higher the grades needed to make an impact on the overall GPA. Recall your math classes and how to calculate averages. Applications to college normally go out during the second half of your Senior year before you get your final grades for your Senior year, so your first semester as a Senior has to be maxed out gradewise to really have any influence on your overall GPA. There is no way to influence your GPA outside of H.S. at this point. If you had been concerned about it between your Sophomore and Junior year, you could have taken Summer School classes to be better educated and more focused when you got to the next level.

I guess you're looking reality in the face, the real world is waiting.
Your H.S. GPA is one thing. If you start College, University or Community level, you start over on a College GPA, your H.S. GPA has no continuing opportunity to change.

I got a 1.9 in HS and a near 4.o in college. What did I do? I learned to love learning and not care about the grades. They are poor motivation. Forget worrying about bad stuff like bad grades and think good stuff like how smart you're going to be. Grades are pretty hollow. Interest and motivation are greater predicters of success that even IQ. You could have the greatest grades in the world but if you can't face rejection you're not going to succeed. Im a psychology and business mgmt graduate.

1. You're mind likes getting addicted to habbits. Good study habbits make the work more efficient and easier.

2. Turn off that cell phone and multitask less.

3. Make yourself love it. I will make it easier. I sometimes get hi & eat jelly bellies when I study.

4. Schedule your time. I know everyday what I'm going to study when and for how long. Use an hr by hr schedule. I can also tell friends when I'll be done and can go have fun.With experience, you can learn to adjust the amount of studying you do to get the grade you want. You've had enough tests by now. It doesn't matter if you are good at it or not. Just know yourself and study just the right amount. With each test note your grade and how much you studied and adjust for next time.

Confidence alone makes you do better even if you didn't study any more. Go to the test feeling good. This alone is worth a point or two.

5.Don't study things you already know. It's everybody's instinct but it wastes time. Study what you don't know.

6. Read the chapter before the lecture. This means less study time overall as it will help you take in what the teacher is lecturing about. Your mind can engage in the subject rather than being worried that you'll be called on. When everyone else is cramming you'll be free, relaxed and confident.

7. Prime your mind before a test. Get thinking about the subject before the test. Look over your notes. If you drank coffee or smoked pot when studying you need to do the same for taking the test. You will recall best when in the same mind frame as when you studied it. When you learned the school subject you learned it along with the mind state, music, even room color. All of these things will help you access it. They are also using you're brain's limited capacity of attention when you have the tv on or music. Even if you can do it, you'll take longer and remember less.

Answer 4

The ONLY way to raise your GPA is to obtain better grades that your current average. For example, if you have a 2.0 GPA (C - average) and you get A's & B's, these will raise it slightly. Conversely, if you get D's & F's, the average will decrease.

As a senior, it may be a bit too late to impact the average that significantly unless you dramtically pull all A's all year. Further, some schools have AP or Honors courses which are graded on a scale of 5.0 vs the standard 4.0, but at this point you may not be eligible to enrol in these courses.

If you're speaking of enrolling in a CC AFTER high school and improving your grades to then enroll in a University, that's a possibility, but that has no effect on your high school GPA.

Answer 5

Study and make all a's.

Yes going to community college is a great way of getting your first two years out of the way. It is usually much cheaper than a 4 year university and admission standards are not as strict.

The only way to raise your GPA is to study hard and get high grades.

Answer 6

Work your *** off during your senior year. Senior year of high school is amazingly easy. You might be able to find some classes you could repeat at a community college to bring up your grades though. Talk to your counselor about it.
