Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is an assessment tool used to evaluate academic performance. It is calculated to determine a student’s current standing both Overall (this includes all courses counting towards the degree) and in the Major(s) (this includes only courses required for the Major) as well as minors, concentrations and specializations. Whether one’s CGPA has a great impact on every students particularly, it has changed one’s practical and mental behavior. We have seen a student’s CGPA depends on a lot of terms. We a have showed how their CGPA differs from spontaneously semester to semester. The activities of students is also changed based on their CGPA. We differentiate every particular student by means of their academic works how they spend their times during on class and off class time. Their daily routine has played a vital role on their CGPA. Thus, we came up with the idea of conducting a statistical experiment entitled “The First Year Experienced Based on CGPA”. In order to get this research done, we collected responds and data by posting an online survey to our target sample which is IIUM first year students. In conclusion, we are expecting that the more time spent on studying will give the students resulting on the increasing of their CGPA.

4. INTRODUCTION

The first year experience at the University can be exciting and also challenging
due to the different methods of study, new responsibilities and expectations.
We have collected and gathered all the data mainly based on the population of
students in International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). Actually, we collected
about 90 data on female and male randomly distributed among their courses and
their years of studying. We also break the category of CGPA to 2.0-2.5, 2.6-3.0.
3.1-3.4 and 3.5 and above based on an excellent level.
We actually divided the data into category of hours studying per day:
a) Low hours of study - less than 3 hours
b) Moderate hours of study - 3 to 5 hours
c) High hours of study - 5 to 8 hours
d) Too High hours of study - 10 and above hours

14. METHOD FULL SCALE ANALYSIS
 According to the method preliminary analysis,
the bar graph is used to show the data that has
been analyzed.
 We can say that our hypothesis which is the
better you study, the better your CGPA is
proven. The first category, low study, showed a
mean CGPA of 3.21, the second category,
moderate, showed a mean CGPA of 3.14, the
third and fourth category, high and very high
respectively showed a mean CGPA of 3.3.
However, some students can still score very
high if they had low amount of studying.

15. CONCLUSION
 At the ending session, our initial hypothesis shows
that the results we gained that who give the highest
times for studying can earn more CGPA.
 We can see that from the result some students can’t
make the highest score to earn because of their low
hours of studying.
 Moderate CGPA students get less experienced than
High CGPA students also Too High level CGPA
students.
 In conclusion, we are expecting that they get
experienced based on their CGPA what they used
time to study.
