<p>At my school A's in AP/honors classes are 5 and in regular classes are 4, so my GPA (weighted) is 4.17. does that mean my school's GPA scale is 4 or 5?</p>
<p>My school does the same grading scale, and they consider it a 4 point scale.</p>
<p>Its out of 4, the extra points are just for the rigor thus making it possible to achieve more than the “maximum” marks by making the courses weighted.</p>
