<p>I attended 3 different schools in 3 yrs in high school, and the Grading scales were all different. They were as follows:</p>
<p>Freshman yr:</p>
<p>95-100 A
90-94 A-
87-89 B+</p>
<p>Junior yr:</p>
<p>90-100 A
80-89 B</p>
<p>Senior yr:</p>
<p>99-100 A+
96-98 A
94-95 A-
91-93 B+
88-90 B</p>
<p>I've got all high As till my senior year, where I have a 93 in AP Lit, and 92 in AP Calc, amongst my 4 APs this year. How do you think Pton will weigh all the grades, and how would they recalculate my GPA? The grading is not easy even though my senior year scale is screwed up...</p>
<p>First of all, what happened to sophomore year?</p>
<p>My grading was something like this</p>
<p>Freshman and Sophomore year</p>
<p>90-100 A+
85-90 A
80-85 B+
70-80 B</p>
<p>I usually got around 91 % and used to top the school</p>
<p>In junior and senior years,in a differnt school</p>
<p>90-100 A+
85-90 A
75-85 B+</p>
<p>but usually ,only 1-2 persons got over 90 with science subjects
rest (including me) in the top 1% had their aggregate in the mid 80's</p>
<p>and my Mid-year report has a drop of 7% in the aggregate,Wud that be really bad?</p>
<p>we are gettin more questions than answers :p</p>
<p>90% an A+? That seems like a super easy grading scale, holy cow. That's almost a B+ at my school.</p>
<p>Well, in my education board (ICSE), we have something like this (empirically) - </p>
<p>0 to 39 - 9: E (Fail)
40 to 44 - 8: D- (Pass)
45 to 49 - 7: D+ (Pass)
50 to 54 - 6: C- (Credit)
55 to 59 - 5: C+ (Credit)
60 to 69 - 4: B- (Credit)
70 to 79 - 3: B+ (Credit)
80 to 89 - 2: A- (Very good)
90 to 99 - 1: A+ (Very good)</p>
<p>It's hell hard to get 90+ on most subjects esp. english....</p>
<p>Are tests and things curved, or is that just straight grades? If things aren't being curved then it seems hard, but compared to here where 50% of people in a class are over 90%, with curve, it slightly boggles my mind (and really makes me insanely jealous - my school doesn't even give out A+'s)</p>
<p>Actually, no alphabetical grades are awarded. It's just the marks you get. No weighting or scaling etc either.</p>
<p>The numerical grades from 1 to 9 are just a courtesy.... carrying little significance other than to let someone unfamiliar with the evaluation process understand a student's achievement (and rather vaguely at that!)</p>
<p>For example, I got 53 in mathematics which sounds ridiculous, but according to my transcript, I receive "Credit" for it!</p>
<p>90% an A+? That seems like a super easy grading scale, holy cow. That's almost a B+ at my school.
In your school ,that is .In my school only abt 1-2 ppl get it,and they usually take the lightest courseload available</p>
<p>akash how do you talk about grades and courseload for a CBSE school?</p>
<p>I failed to notice that all you people with the 90% A+ are from India, and thus have a completely different educational system, etc. And with no curving, esp., it's not so unbelievable.</p>
<p>Prettyfish,wats the meaning of curve?Cud u elaborate?</p>
<p>akash how do you talk about grades and courseload for a CBSE school?
thats coz its RKP
lightest -courseload is commerce without math
heaviest -science with Biology</p>
<p>Okay, today we got back our chemistry tests. They were out of 90 points. I got the high score, 85. Some times the teacher will make whoever has the highest score, that person has 100% - so if you scored a 60, instead of having a 67%, you have a 71%. Or what happened today is, the average grade was really low, so he decided to curve it down to an 80 - i.e. make it out of 80 points - so I get a 106, and the hypothetical 60 gets a 75%</p>
<p>Same thing happens at the end of a grading period, to raise grades.</p>
<p>ok got it.We dont have curving at all,even between different sections,So u find somebody getting a 81/100 as the highest in English in some section and 55/100 as the highest in another.So our marks and transcripts are pretty skewed(My class has 980 students)</p>

Ok. I thought you had some IB program there too!</p>
<p>wow. I think we forgot callthecop's original question. :p</p>
<p>CTC - I can't answer it, because I too have no idea how they would weigh the grades. How did your Guidance Counselor do it for your transcript?</p>
<p>My GC just enclosed all the three transcripts from each school, and with it their respective grading scales.</p>
<p>Then that should be fine.</p>
