<p>Do AP classes have a higher weight than honors at your school?</p>
<p>honors don't have weight at my school</p>
<p>do you have a weighted gpa</p>
<p>Honors get a .5 weight, added to the GPA for the class (Basically adding 5 points to the grade you get in the class), and AP gets a 1.0 weight added, like adding 10 points to the class grade...</p>
<p>I think Honors & Normal classes are the same since we have like 2 total honors classes. APs get a .37 added, no matter what your grade is in the class. Our GPA system is really stupid..gym is a full 1.0 because it's a "normal" class. So if you took somethink like ap us history or ap calculus which is really hard..you'd only get a .37 added. Plus if you got an A in the class, and someone else got an F, both of you get the .37 Really unfair.</p>
<p>No weight for honors. For AP .5 is added. That's about it.</p>
<p>Same here. No add-on for honors, and .25 each semester for AP (.5), but only if you take the AP test too. Which I have no hitches with. Y'all are lucky who get a full 1.0 added.</p>
<p>Honors count as normal classes, AP grades are multiplied by 1.1 (we go on a 0-100 scale)</p>
<p>at my school regular classes are unweighted (a=4.0, b=3.0, etc.) and both honors and AP are weighted the same (a=5.2, b=3.9, etc.). It's a little absurd in some cases, because we have some ridiculously easy honors classes, but oh well...</p>
<p>Wow you guys barely get your classes weighted, my school emphasized APs + Honors so much
1.15 Weighted for Honors, 1.25 Weighted for APs
But...the honors and APs are really competitive. You need to apply to each honors/AP class and only like 30% of the applicants who want to take it get in. An example would be for 10th grade English you had to write a critical analysis of any Shakesperian work, needed to have an interview with the teacher, and a recommendation from Middle school or 9th grade English. In 11th grade honors you needed to show 5 essays, interview, recommendation, and take a test before the first week of school on 3 books. Similar selection criteria applies to other subjects as well. (Before AP calc BC for seniors you need to take the Math IIC SATII and have a Math SAT score available)</p>
<p>It's pretty screwed up if you think about it but oh well</p>
<p>we weight for AP's 1 extra point.</p>
<p>Oh yea well beat this! My school does not weight honors OR AP classes at all.....</p>
<p>^THAT sucks!!!!</p>
<p>Honors and AP are both weighted here...you get a 95% in the class, its technically a 105%, you get a mid B at 85%, its technically a solid A 95%...yep.</p>
<p>^Although, you have to get at LEAST a C+ (I think thats anywhere from 77-79%) to get any weight at all.</p>
<p>we get weight for a C and up</p>
<p>honors .5
AP 1.1</p>
<p>What's the grading system at your school?
At mine:
A=100-93
B=92-85
C=84-?
I'm not sure about the exact numbers for the rest, but 67-0=F</p>
<p>omg mcz are you serious?
for me</p>
<p>A = 90-100
B = 80-89
C = 70-79
F = 45,55,60
P for passing 65.....</p>
<p>weighted for an ap class is 5.0 and for an honor class its 4.5 and for an IB class its 5.0 and for an P-IB class its 4.5.
if you took classes in middle school early and got credit for them, though, then they are only worth 4.25. it sucks, cause those lowered my gpa.</p>
<p>WOW PEOPLE NOW DON'T YOU SEE WHAT ALL THESE 4.0'S mean on CC? No one people get rejected, their grades aren't true 100's. Also 5 points for AP?! Are you kidding me!? How do you not get a 4.0 with that, seriously grade inflation combined with rampant cheating, I am not surprised</p>
