<p>I learned today that the AP classes at my school are only weighted 1.3 (a 4.3 out of 4.0) while honors classes are either 1.2 or 1.1
Is this a normal weight compared to your school?</p>
<p>That isn't the weight at my school.</p>
<p>AP Classes and Honors classes can have a max value of 5 out of 4.0.</p>
<p>The only catch is that Honors and regular classes are 1/2 year classes and AP Classes are full year classes(b/c of block scheduling)</p>
<p>our school does not weight grades. More convenient, I think: no GPA-politics.</p>
<p>i thought it was pretty low...
we have block scheduling too, but AP classes are also 1/2 year for 2 periods.</p>
<p>my school doesnt even weigh AP courses or honors courses!!!</p>
<p>My school has honors classes count as 4.5 and APs count as 5</p>
<p>At my school, you get .04 per semester added to your GPA for honors courses and .08 per semester added for AP courses.</p>
<p>my school weighs honors and AP equally ... sigh
(+5) percentile ... so if i get a 90 in lets say AP Econ, weighted is a 95.</p>
<p>Mine weight it an extra GPA point. So at my school, an A+ is a 4.3, and an A+ in an honors or AP is counted as 5.3.</p>
<p>my school gives 5/4 for an honors course and 5.5/4 for an AP. no pluses or minuses either</p>
<p>5.2/4 for a 100 in Honors
5.9/4 for a 100 in AP</p>
<p>@ my school</p>
<p>A in regular= 4
A in Honors= 5
A in AP= 6</p>
<p>My school only has AP classes as whole year classes. </p>
<p>An AP class would be 1 period for 1 year(except for Lit and Gov, which alternate days).</p>
<p>An honors class is 1/2 year(except for Econ H., which is 1/4 year).</p>
<p>Both have a weight of 5.</p>
<p>My school goes back and forth on this.</p>
<p>We were unweighted for a really long time, and one year our valedictorian took maybe one AP class his entire high school career, but was the only 4.0. So after that, we went to weighted grades.</p>
<p>A few years later, we had two people with straight A's, but since one of the two took band every year (which was unweighted), the other individual was valedictorian.</p>
<p>So now the weighting only happens with regard to class rank.</p>
<p>the multipliers at my school are as such: x 1.1 for honors classes, and x 1.2 for AP classes.</p>
<p>My school doesn't weigh grades. The highest possible GPA you can get is a 4.0 if you get As in every class as there aren't A+s. I've gotten one A- so my GPA is like a 3.9948. We're on a block schedule and most AP classes are a full year except a few and Honors classes are full year as well.</p>
<p>we dont weight grades either.</p>
<p>Ours weigh weird. a 90 in an AP class gets weighted to a 100. (+10 points)</p>
<p>in my school its weighted .025</p>
<p>D/D's school does 4.3 /4.0/3.7 for A+/A/A- on regular and 4.8/4.5/4.2 for either honors on AP. This includes honors electives.</p>
<p>The honors classes are all pretty rigorous and the AP vary from really hard to really easy. </p>
<p>School actually discourages more than 2-3 AP or honors classes per year though most top students do 4-5 counting electives.</p>
