[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has to be a troll.  I don't think it's mathematically possible to have a 3.5 with multiple Cs and a D. [/quote]

Yes, it is, especially if you have a lot of As to balance things out. [/quote]

Let's say there are 18 grades from 3 years of school. 
15 As plus 2 Cs plus 1 D 
= 3.5

So this kid has all straight As plus 2 Cs and 1 D?

Seems unlikely that every other grade was a straight A.

If you do not know how to calculate a GPA I can't help you. In the county there are 14 grades a year--grades are reported on a semester basis and students generally take 7 classes. So, by the end of junior year you have around 42 letter grades. So, yeah As and Bs can balance out a couple of Cs and a D.[/quote]

Are you high??? There is no way any high school kid is taking 14 DIFFERENT classes in one academic year. One grade counts, and that is the final grade. Students in most schools take 7-8 classes across the entire year. Some might be a half year course paired with another half year course.

A typical course load might be:
1. English
2. History
3. Math
4. Science
5. Language 
6. PE half year + elective half year
7. Band
