How to find my new Grade Point Average

Question

I am currently taking a Pre-calc class and I do not think I will pass the class, what I was wondering was if I currently have a 3.2 GPA and I fail the class how much would that affect my GPA or what would be my new GPA?

Answer 1

That depends on how many classes you've taken before. I'm assuming an F is a 0.0?

Take your 3.2, multiply it by however many classes you've taken before, and divide it by that many classes plus 1. For example, if you've taken 16 classes before, take (3.2*16)/17, and you'd have a 3.01 as your new GPA with that class in it.
