Grade Point Scale

<p>My school uses this gay GPA scale-12 point. From what I know we're the only school in the world with it. Most either use 4 point or the 100 thing, more percentish. It goes like this:
12-A+
11-A
10-A-
9-B+
8B
etc.
etc.
ANd then an F is 0</p>

<p>They say to convert it to a 4 point you add 1 and divide by 3. SO at most normal schools is a 4.0 straight As not A+s, correct? So my cum. GPA is an 11.714 (UW) so that would mean my GPA is a 4.2 (UW), is that rihgt. Just checkin to make sure all is right and just to spread this stupidity a little more.</p>

<p>On the 4 point scale you can't have more than a 4.0.</p>

3

<p>yeah you can. 4 points for normal classes, and an extra for APs, its still a 4 point scale though because some people don't take APs.</p>

4

<p>my old school used that in indiana, so its not the only one.</p>

5

<p>Wov, that is similar to what we used in Ukraine.</p>

6

<p>BJD....what school? mine uses the 12-pt scale as well</p>

7

<p>riverider1226,
That would be weighted because you are adding extra bonus points for Honors/AP/IB/DE, the OP is trying to calculate UW.</p>

8

<p>Yeah but my real question is if an 11 on this scale equals a 4.0, so 4.0 is just plain striaght As</p>

9

<p>depends on the school:</p>

<p>mine:</p>

<p>97+ A+
93+ A
90+ A-
87+ B+
83+ B
80+ B-
77+ C+
73+ C
70+ C-
...</p>

<p>All A's (doesn't matter + or -)= 4.0</p>

10

<p>Mine is:</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>I think with yours, you would just divide by 4. Not sure though.</p>

11

<p>My high school just did a 4.0 scale.</p>

<p>A - 4.0
B - 3.0
C - 2.0
D - 1.0
F - 0.0</p>

<p>However, honors courses were an extra .5, therefore an A would have been a 4.5 For AP courses, an extra 1.0 was given, so an A would have been a 5.0</p>
