Your term GPA is your Grade Point Average for that one term of school (semester, quarter, or however your school divides its year). Your cumulative GPA is your grade point average over the entire year (or years) of school.

A weighted grade adds an extra point to the class making it 5 points out of four. If you had five weighted classes it would be a 5.0. But remember as the Famous Hispanic Dancer, Patrizio Paez had said,"Never overdo yourself, even when mowing a lawn".

Cumulative GPA is the Overall Graduate Average point in the entire stage of a specific major while the University or college divide them into semesters or years.This GPA is due to the result of ALL courses ( Major and non-Major).

While,

Major GPA is the Graduate Average point of the Major courses and the Major Elective one, while GER courses and GER Electives are excluded from that domain.

In the cumulative GPA AP/Honor/Pre-ap classes are not weighted as harder classes. Therefore if i had an 89 in AP Chem, a regular chem student with a 90 would have a higher GPA.

In the weighted GPA, you're AP/Honor/Pre-ap classes are weighted. So that 89 would be considered a 109. AP classes are weighed as 20 more points, and pre-ap classes are weighted as 10 more points.

I had a 4.0 GPA in my first 8 months at college and one class brought me to a 3.5 GPA. Is it true that even if I get straight As from here on out til I graduate I can NEVER get that 4.0 back?

You will get it back as a semester GPA but never for your cumulative GPA. Let's say you get all A's next semester....you will have a 4.0 GPA for that semester but your cumulative GPA will be different. I suggest shooting for the highest grades possible because even though you won't get your 4.0 cumulative GPA back, you will raise your GPA above a 3.5.Also, do not be so down on yourself. A 3.5 GPA is still pretty good and after you graduate and start looking for jobs, GPA doesn't really matter at all. Get involved with clubs and honor societies....employers love that!
