How to improve your GPA

I had a 4.18 then during sophmore year my grade dropped dramatically and now I have an 3.87. Im taking 4 aps, and their pretty hard but I'm improving a bit somewhat and I didn't start studying for my sat/act. So I don't know what do to

if your school inflates your grade if you take APs or honors and youre taking them, then definetly yes. if not, its still possible it will just take a lot of hard work. best of luck to you :)

If you have applied to some weighted classes and AP classes this year and continue to do so next year, surely it will at least reach 3.0 unweighted. But that is if so, you maintain high grades in those classes. Taking too many can do more harm than good, so try to prioritize communicating with your guidance counselor or teachers in charge of ap, honors, weighted classes. (I sometimes know counselors are a hit-or-miss TT) Taking weighted courses where you can pass with flying colors is my best advice^^
