<p>Not that it really matters since I'm a senior and the college process is over for me. But, are advanced classes weighted? I took advanced biology and advanced composition my junior year and got an A in Comp and a B in adv.bio. So would that factor into my weighted gpa.</p>
<p>well its diff in every school</p>
<p>at my school, its a .05 (honors)/.07 (AP) addition to the final GPA for each class taken</p>
<p>so my highest possible gpa this yr would be 4.25 cause I'm taking 5 honors</p>
<p>At my school honors aren't weighted (Not fair, I take all honors) and APs are done on the 5.0 gpa scale.</p>
<p>at my school, A in honors is 4.5. A in AP is 5.0, A in regular is 4.0
a B in AP = A in regular</p>
<p>AP = +1
H = +.5
CP/G = +0
Highest possible GPA is 5 if one takes all non-AP classes pass/fail, which some have tried to do in the past.</p>
<p>^ same as evil. at my school if you get an A (93+) in a course... </p>
<p>AP = 5.0
Honors (lvl 1) = 4.5
CP (lvl 2+3) = 4.0</p>
<p>So, because I'm taking 4 APs and one honor course next year, the highest GPA I could get would be a 4.9 :) (unfortunately, that doesn't weigh into my GPA that colleges see because next year I'm a senior... lol)</p>
<p>At my school, no classes are weighted at all. I've managed to keep up a 3.97ish GPA in all kinds of crazy classes, but I'm still ranked 20ish in the class because there are so many people that get 4.0s taking classes like Creative Cuisine. It really drives me crazy sometimes.</p>
<p>My school doesn't add to the GPA only the grade. In an honors class you get +2 points on your final grade and +4 points for AP classes. So if you really have an 89 in honors bio and a 90 in AP chem, then you get a 91 and a 94 respectively. This weight SUCKS!</p>
<p>does anyone agree with me? honors bio is the devil?? yeah i think so.</p>
<p>Academic = 4.0 for an A
Honors = 5.0 " "
AP = 6.0 " "
Kind of inflated, but it doesn't really matter for colleges anyway, because they recalculate according to their own standards, only class rank. And that way kids who take APs are ranked higher than kids who don't.</p>
<p>Correct, colleges know the weighting factor at each school, and take it into account.
The important thing to know is:
Take the honors/AP class and get a B, rather than getting an A in the normal class.
However, take the regular class and get a B, rather than getting a C in the advanced class.
Getting a C in an advanced class makes colleges think that you are not ready for college level work.
If your school offers only 3 AP courses, try to take at least 1 of them.
If your school offers many AP courses, you should take as many as you can handle in your strong subjects....otherwise, it looks like you weren't interested in challenging yourself.
Of course, the best thing is to take the hardest classes you can, as many as you can, and get straight A's in all of them!
If you like them, great.
If not, well, you gotta be in school all day, why not make it dramatic and add some intensity?
It's better than saying "gee, I could have challenged myself more!"</p>
<p>In my school everything is based on the 4.0 scale...
An A in an AP is - 4.67
An A in Accelerated/Honors is - 4.33
An A in CPA (one level under Acc) is - 4.0
An A in CPB (one level under CPA) is - 3.67</p>
<p>in my school......
AP & H Math Analysis: 5.0
Regular Classes: 4.0</p>
<p>I think they definitely are. =)</p>
<p>My school uses the 100 point scale. Honors gets 0.02 and AP gets 0.05.</p>
