<p>My school's full GPA is 4.6. And I dont know how to calculate my GPA. My school has A+,A,A-,B+,B,B- system. Anyone knows how to calculate my GPA based on 4.6 GPA scale or 4.0 scale? Here are my grades.
Critical Reading and Analytical Writing: B
Adv. Algebra 2: A-
AP European History: B
Chemistry: B
Spanish II: A-
Art History: B
Pottery and Sculpture: A-
And also how much do I have to do well in junior year and senior year to get 3.5 or 3.6 average GPA?</p>
<p>Wait, I don’t get what 4.6 means. Is an A+ in a regular class a 4, 5 in an honors, 6 in ap, or different?</p>
<p>Like in my school the GPA is out of 4.6. And I dont even know what are credits for regular, honors, and AP. But I’m pretty sure its same with other schools. does Advanced mean honors?</p>
<p>How well do I have to do in Junior and Senior to get 3.9 or 4.0?(remember this is out of 4.6) And notice I have advanced algebra 2 and AP european history.</p>
<p>dk8511, we really can’t help you ;(</p>
<p>You need to ask your school about how they are calculating GPA, to understand how they came up with a 4.6 GPA.</p>
<p>Most universities will re-calculate your GPA, based on the schools own definition. For Example, UF gives a 4 for a A, 3 for a B, 2 for a C, and 1 for a D. They then give you +0.5 points if it’s an honor class, +1 point for an AP/DE/AICE class. So your A in Spanish is worth 4.0, but your advance Algebra 2 could be treated as a honor’s class and be worth 4.5 points (4 for the A, and +0.5 for honors), while your AP Euro would be worth 4.0 points (3 for the B and +1.0 for an AP class).</p>
<p>Also calculate your GPA before any weighting, using the standard 4 point scale. In this case, all A’s (A+, A, and A-) are worth 4 points, etc…</p>
<p>Finally, include your grades in 9th grade. Many schools will only include academic classes(no PE!), so you may need to re-calculate your grades for that school.</p>
<p>There is no “standard” way of calculating GPA, once you move away from the 4.0 scale - to be honest, there is no longer a standard even just using a 4.0 scale. </p>
<p>Most likely, a 4.0 would be an A or maybe A+ in a standard academic class. Then they would add points for honors and AP classes. 4.6 being the highest would be what they award for an A+ in an AP class. Other than that, we can’t tell you anything!</p>
<p>Our local school awards 4.0 for an A+ in a standard academic class, then adds .4 for honors and .4 more for AP, for a top of 4.8, but since most classes are not offered as AP, and most electives are only academic level, there is no possible way to earn a 4.8 GPA, nor is it even likely to be able to earn a 4.4!</p>
<p>Then there are differences moving down the scale. At our HS, each incremental drop lowers your points by .2, so if an A+ is 4.0/4.4/4.8 then an A is 3.8/4.2/4.6 and an A- is 3.6/4.0/4.4… and a D would be 2.0/2.4/2.8 (and failing at any level is 0). We also have 2 course levels below academic, where again the point values drop by .4 so a D in a “general” level class would be 1.6 and in a “basic” class would be 1.2</p>
<p>The next town over adds 1.0 for honors and 2.0 for AP, so the same GPA there would not be as impressive as in our HS. </p>
<p>Look in your school’s handbook, or maybe course selection information, and they should provide a table showing quality points. Or your school’s profile - it is usually provided to colleges with your transcript, so the college knows how your GPA is calculated.</p>
<p>Using the above formula(for UF, by it’s typical for many Universities), we would first drop Pottery (it’s not academic).</p>
<p>Critical Reading and Analytical Writing: B (3.0)
Adv. Algebra 2: A- (4.5)
AP European History: B (4.0)
Chemistry: B (3.0)
Spanish II: A- (4.0, note that Spanish 3 is usually treated as an honors class, if not an AP).
Art History: B (3.0)
Pottery and Sculpture: A- (not an academic class, don’t count)</p>
<p>21.5 points out of 6 classes or a 3.58 (weighted) GPA and a 3.33 standard GPA(20 points out of 6 classes).</p>
<p>Don’t forget Universities take Rigor into account, so a 3.5 GPA with high Rigor (honor and AP classes) is viewed better than a 4.0 GPA with low Rigor (all standard classes). You want to take high Rigor classes in your junior and senior years. Getting an equal number of A’s and B’s will keep your GPA at 3.5 or better.</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>So most colleges calculate GPA based on 4.0 scale?</p>
<p>Yep just make sure you count your entire GPA</p>
