Well, I guess math was definitely not your strongest subject.
GPA stands for "Grade Point Average". The grade point average is calculated by adding together all of your grade points and dividing by the total number of classes (class hours).
In short, there is a direct relationship between your GPA and your grades. The only way to make a GPA higher is to get good grades.
Some schools will let you re-take classes and will only count the higher of the two grades when calculating a GPA. However, once again, you have to actually make a good grade for this to be effective.

Well, the question alone explains why your GPA is so low. No, the only way to increase your GPA is to get good grades. That's why it's called a Grade Point Average.

Get better grades, whether by studying more or cheating lol. I am in the same situation in college. My GPA keeps going downhill and I am struggling trying to raise it back up. Remember an A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0....etc..

In my county, Honors and AP classes add to the GPA, but if you are not able to do well in those classes then don't since you will only lower the GPA. Other than that, there aren't any I can think of so try hard this year!

faculties use your unweighted cumulative (9-twelfth) gpa for the admissions technique. incredibly, i would not point out on your admission essays with regard to the ADHD and dyslexic factor, as i think of it would harm you. college pupils at the instant are not HSs and could no longer do the "lodging" you are able to anticipate from once you have been a new child. stating those will in basic terms harm you. additionally make valuable somebody else evidence your applications in case you're making stupid spelling and grammar errors like "honers" particularly than the properly suited "Honors" and quite a number of different others

Sorry, no shortcuts allowed in school. I guess you could ask for extra credit and see where it takes you. Although most teachers will probably say no. But stil give it a try. And make sure to hand in every single peice of homework, participate in class, and study. Getting a bad gradeon a test can affect your grade harshly.

No I dont think there is. Grades are what a GPA is....Grade Point Average. Ask your teachers if you could do some extra-credit or something.

If you are still in high school take advanced placement and honors classes. these are weighted classes. so if you get good grades like an A in one of those classes you could possibly end up with a 4.2 for that particular class

Go to every teacher you have and ask for extra work. Explain that you are TRYING to raise your low GPA. I am sure they will help you out any way possible in achieving that goal.
