How do you figure what your GPA would be if you replace a class?

I got a D- in a class a couple years ago, and it's being offered this semester. How do I figure what my GPA would be if I replace that with an A or a Bthis semester? It's a system, with B+s and A-s and straight Cs and what not.

Yes, I know I should know this. Thanks for telling me I should know this. Awesome.

Now can you give me a hand real quick?

No wonder you're still in school.

In my defense, the second "I should now this" was a copy/paste from the first one, so that's why the error appears twice. It wasmade once, and then copied quickly, as the thread was made quickly.

Still, though...

Unacceptable.

Thanks, but the trouble with online GPA calculators is that they don't allow you to calculate replaced grades, which is what I'm trying todo. I haven't found one that allows you to calculate what your GPA would be if you replace your grade from a class with a new grade in the same class.

Find your overall quality points on your transcript subtract .7 replace with 4 or 3 divide quality points by total credits. Boom your new GPA. Hope that madesomewhat sense

 

[truballa72189]

all you have to do is re-calculate your gpa...if you want just pm me all your grades from each semester then pm me the grade you want to replace and i'llfigure it out for you

Wouldn't you just go through it twice, once with the old grade, once with the new?

So...
- take my CURRENT quality points and subtract .7 from that number
- add the number for the appropriate projected grade (4.0 for an A+ or an A, 3.7 for an A-, 3.3 for a B+, etc.)
- now I have a new number for quality points
- divide that by the credits

?

Yup. Quick question though does your school take the higher of the two grades or do they average both grade because I know alot of schools do the avgeragething so might have to take that into account also

 

[ichampion]

If I'm not mistaken, all University only replaces F grade (it won't count in your GPA if you retake the course and get a grade of C or better). Inother words, if you get a D in a course it will still average in your GPA even if you retake the course and get C or better. So you should check with your school's registrar office, or the appropriate department.

I've retaken classes before twice, but they were both B- classes that I got As in the second time, and the GPA does not at all reflect the first grade; thenew GPA is as if the original class was never taken, and the new class with the new grade is what's factored.



So for this, I see what I need to do; subtract the .7 for the D- and 9 hours for the class to see what my GPA would be right now if I had never taken thatclass at all, and then use that GPA to factor in that class with an A or a B+ or whatever.



Thanks, guys.

Great topic. I calculated that to get my gpa from a 2.4 to a 3.6, I'll need 94 more credit hours while maitaining a 3.93 gpa. You could say I shot myselfin the foot early in my college career, but it is what it is, and its gotta be done.



chea!

 

[minah86]

in your case, if they just throw out the previous grade and replace it with the new grade, then it makes it easier.



you just subtract the grade points from what you have now. for example: if the class you took is 3 credits and you got a D- (which I believe is a .7, in termsof grade points, i'm not sure because we don't use minus), then you would do 3x.7=2.1. Subtract 2.1 from your total grade points.



then add the new amount of grade points that you earned. for example, if you got an 'A' now, then just add 12 to your grade points (4x3; 4=grade pointfor an 'A', 3=number of credits). take this new number and divide it by your total # of credits, and that's your new gpa.

The calculator thing not workin on the sidekick...I need to get my gpa over a 3 too

You've just confused me more.

it depends on your school's policy on retaking classes.



there are many

1. drop intial grade, use newer grade

2a. combine both grades and use average of two for GPA

3. count each instance of course as seperate, thus you factor your GPA for the D-, then factor your GPA for the A or B just like you would any other class.However the 2nd instance does not count towards degree credits since you cannot get double credits for the same course.

 

[dirtylicious]

I just reread the thread.



ska. what are the total credits you have, your current GPA and the credits of the class?



PM me if you wish
