GPA is Grade Point Average. It's an average of all the grades you've ever gotten.

If you took a million classes and averaged 2.0, a few 4.0's aren't going to change much of anything. If you took one class and got a 2.0, then even one 4.0 is going to make a big difference.

There is no way to figure it out since we don't know how many grades made up the 2.0.

If we knew that the 2.0 was the average of X grades then the formula would be
(x*2.0+4*4.0)/(x+4)

It depends how many courses went into the 2.0 GPA

If there were four other C courses at 2.0 then the 4 A's would average the C out to a B average.

But the more if you have more that 4 C's you'd need more A's to make it average a B.

Normally, in schools the grade point system corresponds to this:

A = 4 points
B = 3
C = 2
D = 1
F = 0

To find your grade point average, you calculate the average of all your grade points:

Start with 0, then add 4 points for every A, 3 for every B, etc until you go through every grade. You should end up with a fairly large number. Then divide this total by the number of grades in the data.

Let's say your grades are C, B, B, and A
or, with the grade points, 2, 3, 3, and 4.

2+3+3+4=12

Then take twelve and divide it by the number of grades (in this case 4)

12/4 = 3.0 GPA

So, using your other grades, you can figure it out yourself!

Can't calculate without knowing the # and grades that make up the 2.0 GPA.

well it depends on what scale your school goes on. to find out your current gpa, add up all the A's, B's, C's, D's, and F's and divide it by the number of classes you take. if your school goes on a 4 point scale, A's would be a 4, B's a 3 and so on. my school goes on a 5 point scale, so A's aree 5, B's are 4 and so on

Well since you're in college it depends on how many credit hours you have, and how many you should've earned. but to get a general estimation, it'll probably be a 3.0
Here's how to figure it out:
A- 4pts
B+= 3.5pts
B= 3 pts
C+= 2.5 pts
C= 2 pts
D+= 1.5 pts
D= 1 pt
F= 0pts
your 2.0 + 4.0= 6.0/2=3.0

Hope this helps

Assume that the courses you have already had is N ( excluding these 4 you get A's), your new GPA is 2+16/N.

it all depends on how many assignments and tests made up that 2.0
you need to find out all of the scores and turn them into numbers, like if you got 18 bs 3 cs and 8ds, you would have to add up 18 3's 3 2's and 8 1's. then you devide by the total number of values.
its called average (mean)

I believe gpa is figured as the following:
4 pts for each A
3 pts for each B
2 pts for each C
1 pt for each D
Add all the points and divide by number of courses. (it's just a simple average formula) Depending on what quarter you are working on, add them all together and divide it out.

Good job on the A's.
