<p>How does the scale work for GPAs from 1.0-4.0 and 1.0-5.0???? What are the numbers between i.e. What's considered a 3.0 in numerical terms?</p>
<p>It really depends on your school. Unweighted GPA (which is what colleges look at) is out of 4.0 and doesn't give anything extra for honors or AP courses. Most high schools use one of these two scales (or something similar to it):</p>
<p>Scale 1:</p>
<p>A ---> 4.0
B ---> 3.0
C ---> 2.0
D ---> 1.0
F ---> 0</p>
<p>Scale 2:</p>
<p>97+ ---> 4.0
93+ ---> 3.8
90+ ---> 3.6
87+ ---> 3.4
83+ ---> 3.2
80+ ---> 3.0
77+ ---> 2.8
73+ ---> 2.6
71+ ---> 2.4
70+ ---> 2.0
Below 70 ---> 0</p>
<p>Mine is on a 4.5 scale</p>
<p>4.5= A+ (95-100)
4.0=A (90-94)
3.5=B+(85-89)
and so on</p>
<p>our county's grading system is awesome. We have the basic 4 point scale mentioned first but our weighting system allows weighted GPAs to grow by the semester, even with crappy grades. For every semester of an honors or AP course, as long as we make a C, .04 or .08 respectively is added to our unweighted GPA. I have a 6.0 even.</p>
<p>I have a 4.062 GPA based on a 6.0 scale.
Does anyone know what it would be, if it was on a 4.0 scale?</p>
<p>Standard:
96+=4.0
Honors:
96+=5.0
AP=
96+ 6.0 </p>
<p>Also:
College classes 100's-200's 96+=5.0
College Classes 300's+ 96+=6.0</p>
<p>80-81% according to our school scale</p>
<p>Again, i have a 4.062 based on a 6.0 scale and i would like to know the GPA if it were on a 4.0 scale. I understand what grade and all it would be but i would like to know if it would be like a 2.7 or 2.8 or something around there on a 4.0 scale. Can anyone help me?</p>
<p>Can you explain the 6.0 scale? Standard: Honors/Advanced: AP:
6.0=?</p>
<p>im not exactly sure. i think its more AP. well thats what i take. im not exactly sure how the GPA works</p>
<p>My school doesnt do that stupid stuff w/ crap out of 11.0 or 25.3 or those weird scales like that that confuse ppl more than they actually tell ur real GPA. At my school they give us only our true hardcore GPA - all our classes averaged together (of course differing between half year courses and such), out of a 100.</p>
<p>It would be a 2.0</p>
<p>6.0 is AP, 5.0 Honors, 4.0 Std</p>
<p>Pretty typical:</p>
<p>5.0= 90+ AP, high honors
4.0=honors, normal 90+, 80-89 AP, high honors
etc...</p>
<p>4.33 = A+, 100
4.0 = A, 95ish
3.67 = A-, 90ish
...and so on...
2.0 = C, 70ish</p>
<p>No classes weighted at all.
Is this typical?</p>
<p>You shouldn't worry about weighting, that is what the transcripts are for, colleges will re-weight your gpa by their stds. S's gpa ranges from 3.41-3.68 uw depending on the university. SAT and ACT will also re-weight. </p>
<p>Most colleges even state that your gpa may not correspond, it is due to the fact that they have re-weighted to their scale.</p>
<p>Which colleges actually use the pluses and minuses? I have yet to see one.</p>
<p>None that I know of, they take the % and multiply against the credit to give you the actual gpa</p>
<p>Hmm... our school doesn't give out percentages. Only letter grades.</p>
<p>Well it now depends is an A- 90 or 93. You should know whether you are a 10 pt scale or a 7. Also ask for your transcript I bet they have a gpa for you</p>
