How do I know how many earned Grade Points I have?
Add them up manually, or take your Major GPA and multiply it by credits attempted.
How do I know how many credits I have to go?

I’m worried about getting the 5.0 overall. How do I calculate that?
Same as above, but instead of Credits total times 7.0 it will be Credits total times 5.0. Remaining Major Credits would instead be all remaining credits in the degree, not just remaining Major credits.
