<p>I'm really confused with how to measure UW and W GPA on a 4.0 scale and how APs and Honors Classes affect it. I seem to get different answers everywhere.</p>
<p>Freshman Year
Spanish 9-93
English 9-96
Italian I-96
World History I-98
Algebra II-92
Sociology I-99
Conceptual Physics I-94</p>
<p>No honors Classes</p>
<p>Sophomore Year (Unweighted)
Precalc H- 80
Bio H-89
English H- 93
French -98
History-96
Art-95
Graph Comm-91</p>

<p>The reason you get a different answer each time you ask is because every school does it differently. MY school does it this way:</p>
<p>90-100 = 4.0
83-89 = 3.0
75-82 = 2.0
70-75 = 1.0
< 69 = 0.0</p>
<p>Using this scale, you need to assign each class a numerical value. To do this, multiple the grade by the number of credits. For example, if your freshman Spanish class was 5 credits, you would multiply 4.0 (because 93 is between 90 and 100) by 5 (the number of credits) and you’ll get 20. Do this for each class, add up the numerical values (which would be 20 for Spanish) and then divide by the total number of credits (if each of the 7 classes is worth 5 credits, you’d divide by 35). </p>
<p>Now, for honors classes, you add 1.0 to the 4.0 scale number. For example, honors classes use this scale:</p>
<p>90-100 = 5.0
83-89 = 4.0
75-82 = 3.0
70-75 = 1.0
< 69 = 0.0</p>
<p>The only exception is an ‘F’ is always worth 0.0 and a ‘D’ is almost always still worth 1.0.
You would therefore calculate weighted GPA the same way, but for those classes that are honors, ap, or IB, you use the 5.0 scale. </p>
<p>Your freshman GPA is a 4.0 and the weighted is also a 4.0. </p>
<p>Your sophomore GPA is a 3.57 and the weighted is a 4.0. </p>
<p>Your cumulative GPA is a 3.785 and the weighted is a 4.0. </p>
<p>Good job! These are good stats. Anything else, just ask!</p>
