In some academic grading systems, GPAs are rounded up to the nearest whole number.
Yes, GPAs are typically rounded when calculating final grades.
In some cases, GPAs may get rounded up, depending on the school's policy. This means that a GPA of, for example, 3.49 might be rounded up to 3.5. However, not all schools follow this practice, so it's important to check with your specific institution.
When comparing GPAs between private and public schools, colleges typically take into account the academic rigor and grading scale of each institution. They may use a standardized method to convert GPAs to a common scale for fair comparison. Additionally, colleges may consider the reputation and selectivity of the school attended when evaluating GPAs. It's important for students to provide context about their academic background and the grading system used at their school when submitting their transcripts for college applications.
Get high GPAs.
It depends on the system used. The highets GPA is the grade points assigned to the highest grade possible; this is usually A+, and the most common systems give either 4.00 or 9.00 for this grade, making these the highest GPAs for those systems.

The GPAs in the associate's degrees are separate from the bachelor's degree GPA; however, if you are applying for a job, it would depend on how the potential employer interprets it and what weight he or she puts on the GPAs. It would also depend on other factors, like what the degrees are in.
In most cases, GPAs do not round up when calculating final grades. Each grade is typically calculated based on the exact numerical value assigned to it.
Yes, some universities may round up GPAs when calculating final grades, but it ultimately depends on the specific policies of each institution.
3.3 and higher
This is something you need to ask your academic counselor. Class ranks/positions are determined by overall GPA, not by your current grades. You can't figure out your rank or position in your class without knowing the GPAs of everyone in your class (which is not going to happen).
GPAs and ACT scores are not equivalent--students with high GPAs often do poorly on the ACT and vice-versa. Your score depends on your test-taking ability and your preparedness--the ACT is a very different type of test from the ones you normally see in school.
