Its a 5 year course.

2.80 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 /5

= 4.56

But how possible practically?

Pls I'm a student of Microbiology in one of the Nigeria universities. I had 2.80 as CGPA in my first semester in 100 level. And first class has been my goal. Can I still make it to the Top? Pls I need your advise. Because it is a technology school where I'm using 5yrs.

How do they calculate it then

Yoo...ceteris paribus, you can still make first class.

Assuming you took and will be taking an average of 18 unit courses per semester up until the 10th semester, let's do some math;

Total number of units for 10 semesters will be 180 units

Now that you have 2.8gpa in ur 1st semester, we assume that you had 50 out of a possible 90 points
(50/18 = 2.777~ 2.

Now, for the remaining 9 semesters, a 5.0 gp in each semester till graduation will mean a total of (90 * 9 = 810 points) **remember straight As from ur 2nd semester to the last (10th) semester**

Summing it up, total points will become (810 + 50 = 860 points) and Total credit units will be (18*10 = 180)

Final Cgpa, given the above conditions will be (860/180 = 4.777 ~ 4.78). Meaning you don't necessarily have to make 5.0 in the remaining semesters to make a first class (4.5+), you can still afford a couple Bs and Cs.

**Tip**

1. => try avoiding >2 unit courses if you can (usually in electives) , better to have a B in a 2 unit than a B in a 3 or 4 unit course.

2. => As much as possible, try to to do more units (20, 21 units per semester) and study very well for it, doing more units has a way of absorbing poor grades, increasing overall CGPA if you do excellently well in them.....it can also bite you really if u mess up in them.

While in school i did more units whenever i had the opportunity, an average of 20 units per semester


So these answers your question, YESS, it's still very much possible to make a first class BUT with stellar performance throughout your remaining semesters....

Bonne chance !!!
