GPA Improvement Strategies
Your GPA is calculated by dividing the total grade points earned by the total credits attempted. Our calculator helps you identify the most effective way to improve your GPA based on your specific academic situation.
Low Grades First Strategy
Improving a low grade (C or D) has more impact than boosting an already decent grade (B to A) because you're replacing a low point value in your average.
Credit Optimization
Focus on courses with higher credit values. Improving a 4-credit course affects your GPA more than improving a 2-credit course with the same grade change.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I realistically improve my GPA?
This depends on how many credits you've completed and how many remain. With 60 credits completed (2.5 GPA), improving all remaining 60 credits to As could raise your GPA to 3.25.
Should I retake courses with low grades?
Many schools replace the old grade when you retake a course. This can be the fastest way to improve your GPA if you have several very low grades.
How do pass/fail courses affect GPA?
Pass/fail courses typically don't affect your GPA unless you fail (which usually counts as 0.0). They still count toward credit requirements.
