My GPA at the start of this semester was 3.313 and now it's 3.432, but I don't have any letter grades yet. Just the GPA. What would be my GPA this semester inorder to raise my overall GPA to 3.432?

Actually nevermind I got it.
You multiply 3.432 twice and subtract 3.313. Thanks anyway though.

I came up with:
Grade = 3.432*NOG-3.313*(NOG-1)
where NOG is the Number Of Grades you have.

GPA is a weighted average. You don't need to get the grade for each and every course because we know the average for the courses you have taken. So, let's say you took 50 credits and next year you are taking 30.
(50*3.313 + 30*x)/ 80 = 3.432
Then solve for x (this is what you need to get in the next year to raise your average to 3.4).
Basically what you are doing is multiplying the number of credits (course hours) you already have times the average you currently have and adding the credits you want to take times the unknown (x) and dividing by the total of the two. This is equal to the GPA you want to get. Now you just solve for x.
if you want to find the average that you would need to get in each course then just use this formula:
(number of credits you plan on taking)*u= (the x you found in the last formula... the one above)
Then multiply the number you found for u times the number of credits in the course and that is what you need to get in that class. Obviously this is not unique and you can play with the numbers too and add a little to this course and subtract from another course, but this will give you a baseline.

You need to drop that zero and get with a hero. 1.2? That's like a D- average! 2.0 is a C average. If he has 2 A's and 2 F's...that's a 2.0 average. 3 B's and 3 D's...2.0 average. You have to do the math. How many classes is he taking? What's his grade in each of those classes? He'll probably have to raise a letter grade in at least two classes. But do yourself a favor, find a nerd who's halfway decent looking. You'll have a better life.

In order to calculate GPA you need *both* the number grade in each course *and* the number of credit hours for each course.
Then, to get the cumulative GPA, you need to multiply the number grade by the hours for each course, then add up all these products, and then divide the sum by the total number of credit hours.
From the information you gave us, there is not enough data to solve the problem.

It is not as simple as you describe. You have to take into account the number of course hours that went into each GPA. Without knowing the hours you have taken at each point, it is impossible to determine what you are looking for.

Starting you had x credits. now you have x+y credits.
3.432(x+y)-3.313x=zy
where x is the number of credits before this semester
y is the number of credits you took this semester
z is your GPA this semester.
(3.432-3.313)x+3.432y=zy
z=.119x/y+3.432

We have to know how many unit you took this semester and how many you have taken so far.
