no no now just a second. i understood the school part, the college part got confusing

“At the college level, it is similar except you get more than 1 credit per course per semester”
exactly what does that mean?

now i really dont understnad. lets say i take four courses in my first semester. and lets say i get an A on 2, and a B on two.
now my GPA would be, 4X2 + 3X2=14, 14/4=3.6?
so my GPA is 3.6 for the first semster…sorry but i dint get the extra credit thing per course per semester.
what is a credit? i am sorry i have to ask such prelimnary questions, but i really need some help on this.
