How to raise my GPA
It made me
stressed, but happy
 "My semester was one of the busiest I've ever had, but I got through it and managed to get a 4.0!?!"
How I did it: I started out the semester with a planner and went through each syllabus to put in due dates of projects and test dates. I set deadlines for myself earlier than the actual ones, and although I did not always make my personal deadlines I always made the actual ones. Also, if you put more effort in at the start of the semester the professors take note and you can step back a little bit (I don't mean slack off!) during the rest of the semester. Also, I had to be very patient -- especially with group projects. It was pretty frustrating working with people who were not as interested in getting As as I am, but I tried to find what did motivate them and use it to get them to do their parts of the project correctly and on time. Lessons & tips: I think I was a little stressed overall, but happy in the end. Make sure to have downtime. Schedule time to study as well. Try to get things done early so you don't stress about last minute problems. Resources: My professors, my peers, the library, and the internet.

It made me 
How I did it: Yes! Got it up to a 3.5! :) so happy about that, lets see it took working on my classes and making good grades. haha, easy solution, no? But makes me happy, because even though I have 20 hours every semester these past few times, I brought it up and hope to keep it up even with 20 hours. Read how I did it…

Accomplished
How I did it: I was going to pledge a sorority and needed to raise my GPA before doing so. At first, I was really excited to join. As time grew and the sisters waited for my GPA to rise, I realized that I didn't want to pledge anymore, and I started raising my grades and caring more about classes for myself instead of for someone else.Now, my GPA continues to go up with each quarter, and my college career seems to be more satisfying because of it.

Slight increase but let's keep this up
2 weeks ago
Received my results for the fourth subject a few weeks back and then the official cgpa figures came after. The B+, my highest grade last semester; raised my 3.02/4.0 to 3.07/4.0. The increase is small but I’d take this any day than a drop in my overall grade. Am working hard to raise it even higher.
I am going to do better

My cumulative GPA went up by 0.06, so I still have a lot of work to do. This coming semester is supposed to be the hardest out of all of them, and I had better be prepared. After the fall semester I’m moving on to some of the graduate level courses, but they are biology-intensive and hopefully easier to study for.

One step at a time

Got my official gpa numbers yesterday after my results a few days ago. I got straight B’s for three of the subjects I took last semester. The fourth grade won’t be released till June or something. Raised my 2.86/4.0 to a 3.02/4.0. Wasn’t exactly glad because I was expecting an A- on one subject and a B+ on another. For the third subject, I am lucky I even got to the B boundary. Overall, the results were satisfactory because they’re definitely better than the semester before but I do want to do better.
Disappointed in myself again

So grades for this semester have been posted online… I got a B+ in French, a B in my easier physics class, a B- in my harder physics class, an A- in my lab, and a B in my sociology class.
I am absolutely thrilled about the grade for my harder physics class, he must have curved it a ton becuase I had to get an A on the final to even get a C (and I don’t think I got an A on the final).
French and my easier physics class are both kind of shameful, I really should’ve gotten A’s. Soc is pretty much what I expected and I’m fine with that.
So that comes out to a 3.06 for this semester, for a cumulative GPA of 3.03. Alright, so it technically went up a little, but barely, and my GPA last semester was higher.
Next semester I have 3 physics classes and a politics class. One of the physics classes should be really easy (although, one of mine each of the last two semesters was too, and I still got B’s), one is going to be incredibly hard (like my harder one this semester… same teacher, but maybe I’ll end up with a surprise good grade at the end again), and the other is somewhere in the middle I think (but this is the one I’m most interested in, so…). No idea what the politics class is going to be like.

i was aiming for a steady increase this semester, not the usual C’s and D’s (with that first F and A weaseled in from last semester). i was hoping to see more B’s… and i got straight A’s!!!
indeed my GPA has risen, but this is not over yet. ive decided to raise the bar and settle when my over all GPA is a 3.5 (not yet mentioning where my number began).

wooleyduck asks,
“If I make a C in a (institutional/developmental) class but then I retake the class - does my GPA reflect ONLY the 2nd grade, or do both grades count towards my final GPA? and how do dropped classes affect it?”
