Emma Jonson Does retaking the same classes raise your GPA?
Retaking a course may raise your student’s GPA (grade point average). In many schools, if a student retakes a course, the most recent grade will replace the lower grade in the student’s GPA. The earlier, lower grade will remain on the transcript, but will not be included in the GPA.
Is it a good idea to retake classes?
The first thing you need to be clear about is that retaking classes (in most cases) has a minimal effect on your GPA, because retaken classes don’t replace your low grades – they average in with them. That’s right: your low grade won’t be dropped – the retaken class grade will be added to it and averaged.

Should I retake a class I got a C+ in?
If you received a C or higher in a course, there is no need to retake it.
