<p>Nope that’s why I’m rocking a 3.8 and the idiots have a 4.0</p>

3

<p>My school grades AP/IB classes out of 4.5</p>

4

<p>weighted so honors are worth more, and APs are worth the most</p>

5

<p>Yep. An A in a CP is a 4.0, in an Honors its a 4.6, and in AP its a 5.0.</p>

6

<p>honors and ap are weighted the same…out of 4.6.</p>

7

<p>APs are weighted, Honors aren’t</p>

8

<p>Yeah, a 100 in a regular class is a 4.0, 99 is a 3.9, 98 is a 3.8 etc</p>

<p>In Honors a 100 is a 4.3, 99, 4.21, a 98 is a 4.12, a 97 is a 4.03, 96 is a 3.94.</p>

<p>Ap is the same except 100 starts out as a 4.6.</p>

<p>APs aren’t offered until Senior year and I take all honors so needless to say my class rank is awful to due to our messed up weighting system.</p>

9

<p>Only AP is weighted at my school</p>

10

<p>Both AP and Honours are weighted the same. I think it’s out of 5.4</p>

11

<p>no weighting for D’s school…for anything…</p>

12

<p>Yea, I don’t think honors are weighted, which I think is a bit unfair, seeing that they are much more difficult in course load and difficulty than regular courses.</p>

13

<p>My high school weights honors and AP courses, giving both a 1 point boost if one gets a C or above.
I would be annoyed that honors and AP courses are treated the same, but usually the two aren’t both offered for a specific course and are at about the same difficulty, so it works out alright.</p>

14

<p>Honors is out of 5, AP/IB is out of 6</p>

15

<p>Yeah, honors are weighted at a .025 and AP/IB are weighted at a .05.</p>

16

<p>Honors aren’t usually weighted at my school. APs are out of 5 but only algebra 2 trig honors and anatomy & physiology honors are out of 5 also.</p>

17

<p>honors and AP are both 5.0 at my school :)</p>

18

<p>I mean, if honors aren’t weighted, then what incentive would that be? It would look just as good to take an easy regular course–
My previous school didn’t have that many weighted courses, & now that I’m in this other school, they offer tons of weighted courses so my ranking would be lower than it really should :(</p>

19

<p>A=12
A-=11
B+=10
…so on…
No weighted honors, AP weighted 1.25 (ie B+ 10x1.25=12)… but there are not too many APs, and i take a lot of honors/accerlated… so that is why I’m getting a 3.6 (3.75W) instead of a 4.0</p>

<p>No weighting at my school, APs and honors are all worth 4.</p>
