I'm extremely worried about my GPA..And I don't know how to calculate it. Please help me out..

Last year, I had a 3.9. And that was in my freshman year. This year (Sophomore), I'm messing up in Chemistry, and so far, I have a C. Chemistry is honors for me. The other classes I have are : English 2 Honors : I have an A, A.P European History: I have a B, Algebra 2 Honors: I have an A, Creative Writing (not honors): I have an A and P.E (not honors lol): I have an A.

I think that the Chemistry will seriously screw my GPA up. Will having honors classes help me somehow...by not dropping me down too much in the unweighted GPA? ;_;...And if I get like a 3.2 GPA or something...can I pull it up to a 3.7 or something easily if I get better grades? :( I'm sorry it's long and confusing. Any help would be appreciated.

Don't worry, your GPA is a 4.1.

But you might want to check if gym is calculated into your GPA at your school. I know it's not at mine. So you should find that out. It would probably be in a school handbook or course guide. If it's not, then your GPA is 4.2.

Honors and AP courses are good because they raise your GPA. So say you have a B in an honors class. That would be a 3.0, but since it's an honors class, it's boosted up one grade level, so it counts as an A, or a 4.0.

-edit-
Oh, and so you know how to calculate it:
First, find out how many "points" you get for each grade.
A+ 4.5
A 4.0
B+ 3.5
B 3.0
C+ 2.5
C 2.0
D+ 1.5
D 1.0

Average all your points together, and that's your GPA.
(Again, I know that it's like that at nearly all schools, but if you didn't know that, you might want to double check. But it probably is.)
