<p>When calculating one's weighted gpa, does one add 1 point for each ap taken, or 1 point for each semester of that ap taken?</p>
<p>Usually it’s per class – not per semester. If one person takes 4 APs one semester, having a 1.0 boost, the same as a person who only takes one AP class – it doesn’t seem to make sense.</p>
<p>How does your high school calculate the weighted grade? In our area, some high schools add a full point for an AP class, others add .33 for an AP class.</p>
<p>Oh, I forgot to specify, I meant uc weighted gpa. how do you calculate that?</p>
<p>[University</a> of California - Calculating GPA](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/counselors/q-and-a/calculating-gpa/index.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/counselors/q-and-a/calculating-gpa/index.html)</p>
<p>it depends on your school. usually its
AP classes:
A-5 B-4 etc
Honors:
A-4.33 B-3.33 etc
Regular:
A-4 B-3 etc</p>
<p>or at least for my school</p>
<p>The UC calculation is similar to the CSU calculation, except that 12th grade course grades (if available) are not included. The CSU web page explains the calculation more clearly:</p>
<p>[CSUMentor</a> - Plan for College - High School Students - GPA Calculator](<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU)</p>
<p>Since you count grades by semester for the UC or CSU calculation, you get one bonus point for each semester of honors or AP course taken with a C or higher grade, up to a maximum of eight such bonus points. E.g. you took two year long (two semesters each) honors or AP courses and got C or higher grades in each semester in each course. You therefore get four bonus points from these courses for your UC or CSU calculation of your GPA.</p>
