GPA help.
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.

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
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.)

I'm not sure about for you, but with honors classes we get an extra quality point and with AP classes we get two extra quality points. So, in all honesty, with the grades you're making it's really as if you're making a weighted GPA of about 4.
Think of it this way. You have with your honors classes (weighted) a 3.0 for chemistry. A 5.0 for english, algebra 2, and and AP Euro. You have a 4.0 for CW and PE. Totaled and averaged out that makes a 26/6. That gives you over a 4.0.
You are fine! You're actually very smart. Where I live AP Euro is really hard. I'm only in AP American gov't & politics and that class is tough enough for me.
Anyway, you shouldn't worry. If your grades stay exactly the same (and you get the same type of quality points I get) then you may actually go up with your GPA.
If you don't have the same type of quality points, then I'm not really sure how it would work out.
