Stage 3 · Lesson 6 of 7
Talking about your grades honestly
If someone asks about your grades, a short, honest answer works better than excuses or hiding. Name it, give one line of context if there is a real one, and move to what you can show: "My CGPA is 2.6. My first two years were weak while I was working part time; my last three semesters are above 3.2, and here is the project I built."
Never lie about a CGPA on a CV or form; it is easy to check and a lie costs far more than a low number. If your grade is not asked for, you do not need to lead with it.
Common trapa long, defensive explanation that makes a small issue look like a big one.
