Abstract Grade point average, also known as GPA, determines how successful the semester was based on grades and credit hours. To determine a student’s GPA the research question is does gender, stress, credit hours, and age impact the outcome of the GPA? Hypothesized, the differences in gender, age, stress and credit hours will determine a persons g.p.a for the semester. To test the research question multiple regression will be used to determine if gender, stress, credit hours, and age impact GPA based on the 60 participants and the survey addressed to the students. The results show that the only significant independent variable in regards to predicting GPA is the amount of credit hours taken during the semester.
The Relationship Between Gender, Age, Stress and Credit on GPA G.P.A (Grade Point Average) is determined by the total of credit hours and grade points from all semesters and then the grade point will be divided by the total credit hours. G.P.A of semesters or at the end of a school year are there to determine what the grade scores were for that student. In college this is important when determining if a student is going to continue their education on, typically graduate schools require at least a 3.0 to even apply. Factoring what can effect a person’s G.P.A at the beginning of the school year or semester is going to higher the chances of the students overall success. These factors will help the student understand what he/she needs to do in order to get the G.P.A they want. Grade point average is hypothesized being affected by gender, stress, credit, and age. In the means of females receiving a higher G.P.A then males, that stress is a prediction of a lower G.P.A., the more credit hours taken by a student will also have the outcomes of a lower G.P.A., and that older students will have a higher G.P.A then a
