<p>i'm a 9th grader and i'm gonna take AP European History next year but i don't really understand the way they calculate the Weighted and unweighted GPA.
what if i got
English: B
Honor Pre-cal :A
Biology : A
AP European :A
What would my GPA be ?
My school has a 4X4 Schedule.</p>
<p>'cauce you don’t know about our sticky English teachers. Only NERDs =]] could make up to A’s and although i’ve been working hard, i’m still not a nerd at all</p>
<p>If your school calculates GPA the same way my school does, your weighted GPA would be 4.12 and your unweighted GPA would be 3.75.</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA is universally calculated like this: An “A” is 4 points, a “B” is 3 points, a “C” is 2 points, and a “D” is 1 point. You average your grades numerically and come up with your unweighted GPA.</p>
<p>Weighted GPA differs between high schools. At my school, an “A” in an AP class is 6 points, a “B” is 5 points, etc. An “A” in an Honors class is 5 points, a “B” is 4 points, etc. In regular classes, an “A” is 4 points, a “B” is 3 points etc.</p>
<p>Weighted GPA is over-rated. Colleges don’t look at it very much. Instead, they look at your unweighted GPA and the rigor of your schedule.</p>
<p>At my school, the school doesn’t offer an UW GPA. Since I want to know what my UW GPA is I need to calculate it myself, but I want to do it on a generic scale. At my school, a 4.0 starts from a 95, which I’m pretty sure is not the standards elsewhere. I was wondering if by the one point scale (A= 4, B= 3, etc), if that doesn’t account for like A-'s or B+'s.</p>
<p>A+, A-, B+, B-, etc. isn’t accounted for. Simply the letter counts. So both an A+ and A- are 4 points.</p>
