the road to honors

Grade Point Average
A+ 4.3
A 4.0
A- 3.7
B+ 3.3
B 3.0
B- 2.7
C+ 2.3
C 2.0
C- 1.7
D+ 1.3
D 1.0
F 0.0

My current GPA: 2.86
To graduate with honours,
Summa Cum Laude (with highest honours) 3.8+
Magna Cum Laude (with high honours) 3.6 - 3.79
Cum Laude (with honours) 3.4 - 3.59

Assuming I want to aim for Cum Laude (which is no use anyway)

Total modules I am taking if i double major = 37.
Subjects cleared so far = 19
Subjects saved for exchange = 6 (meaning, GPA not counted)
Total accountable subjects = 31.

Current GPA fraction: 19/31 * 2.86 = 1.7529
Cum Laude = 3.4
Remainder GPA fraction: 3.4 - 1.7529 = 1.6741
Remaining subjects accountable for GPA = 12
Therefore, to get a 3.4 GPA, I need to get:

1.6741 * 31/12 = 4.32

But this is impossible because I need to get A+ for every semster, every subject.

Just to get 2nd lower!
