<p>Does having GPA 4.0 indicate that one has an average above 90 or one's final mark for every single subject is above 90?</p>

<p>For the typical 4.0 scale (A=4, b=3, etc.) a 4.0 is all A’s. An A doesn’t necessarily have to be a 90 or higher if the teacher decides to have a different requirement (for example one of my math teachers had it set at 87 or higher as a curve), However 90 or higher is probably going to be the most common, if not exclusive, threshold between an A and a B you’ll see. This is all before taking grade weighting into effect.</p>

<p>At my school, it means that your final grade in every subject is 93 or higher, but it varies.</p>

<p>^I hate that at my school…93 is such a random number.</p>

<p>^I would have a 4.0 GPA if 90 were an A. The 7-point scale makes it practically impossible to get an A without doing homework. D=</p>

A 4.0 means that you have an “A” in every course you’ve ever taken in high school, whether your school considers an “A” to be a 90, 93, 95, or whatever else. However, only have a 4.0 if your school says you do. If your school does not calculate GPA, it does not matter what your GPA shoulda-coulda-might be if you did. Another exception is for schools who calculate GPA where an A+ is a 4.3.</p>

<p>Specifically, if you’re from another country and they do it differently, the whole American GPA thing does not apply to you in the least.</p>

<p>my school doesn’t calculate GPAs, but an A is a 93 or higher for us.</p>

<p>As far as I know, an A (or 4.0) is a 90+ for us. Honors/AP classes bring it up by a bit.</p>
