Assuming that you have eight semesters total and you have completed three of them with a 2.8 average. Mathematically, the highest GPA you can get is a 3.55, assuming that you get straight A's from now on.

Hi! I am only a sophomore but I'm unsure if they have a sophomore group. I wasn't doing good freshman year and I messed up. I got a 2.7 GPA and am working on getting all A's (now that I figured out I want to go to college). The only thing I'm really worried about is EOC's. Do they play a significant role in your overall grade? Also, I'm commenting here because Collegvine wouldn't let me post my own question so I have no idea if anyone will see this.

Hi!

Yeah, I don't see a sophomore group either. I also didn't do great last year (freshman year). I genuinely don't know what happened. For EOCs, I'm sure it depends on the course. For college, if they see (for example) that you got a 'C' in English, it might affect you more; but (from what I've heard) if you get a 'C' in an AP/other upper level course, they'll be more lenient. AP classes also boost your GPA, so take those if you can! From a fellow sophomore: we got this! :)

It depends on your situation- to get the 2.8 GPA were you not understanding the work or just not doing it? If its the ladder, then try doing some more of your work- at least the easy ones and ones which weigh the most. Also make connections with your teachers, my brother would never do homework but is super smart and was close to one of his teachers so she made an excepts that as long as he gets above a 95 on tests, he doesn't have to do the homework. This might not always happen but making a connection with teachers can be beneficial in many ways. In my brothers case, he got a 94 in the class rather than a 70 so having a connection could definently help. If your just not understanding the work, see if your teachers offer office hours or something of the equivalent where you can go and ask your teachers questions. Another great source could be the internet! I can not count the amount of things that were clarified to me by Youtube videos! This may be a longshot but you can also ask your teachers for extra credit work! They won't always say yes but you won't know unless you try! I hope this is helpful and good luck!
