<p>There are some people in my hs who actually graduate with 99+ for all 4 years?</p>
<p>Just curious how anyone can do that. Don't they ever get really subjective teachers or classes (art, music, etc.), and what to do when a teacher makes a mistake on the grade by 0.1 points but just doesn't change it/forgets to do so. My school doesn't scale AP's up.</p>
<p>I don't do these kind of things btw.</p>
<p>Good question…
I guess it’s possible. (Somehow)</p>

<p>Weighted courses. In some schools APs are weighted like1.05 and what not so its actually not rare to see that.</p>
<p>Working hard and grade inflation are usually the two factors that allow this.</p>
<p>At my school (not too much grade inflation), students who are very good at math can earn 99+ averages in math classes. This is much harder in other classes.</p>
<p>I only got one <99 b/c of slacking off sophomore year one term. But my 99+'s are because of weighted courses like APs and honors. I did manage to get 99 one term without weighted courses. It’s just all a lot of hard work, no slacking off, and a couple of allnighters. Of course, that was during freshmen year and now, not slacking off and not procrastinating are impossible…</p>
<p>Study your a-- off. Seriously… Also, people in my school take easy electives that bump up their grades.</p>
<p>I’m so jealous of your weighted courses. Do your “weighted unweighted” GPA’s get sent to colleges or do the grades all get unweighted?</p>
<p>We get unweighted course grades, but weighted final GPA (by 1.07). So tons of people have GPA that’s over 100, which is kind of pointless but still, it’s over 100…</p>
<p>Someone on here once told my my school is overinflated (honors are 1.04 and APs are 1.06)… But I see people who have AP classes that are close to 1.1 and honors near 1.06 …</p>
<p>I have no idea how people could do that. I could see it in math or science, but English is so subjective that I feel like it’s impossible to give the teacher exactly what they’re looking for every time. I’ve had 100 averages in math and Latin for a while, but eventually stupid mistakes get the better of me - keeping that up for four years is insane.</p>
<p>100% in a class? Or weighted GPA? If it’s weighted GPA, a ton of people do that. If you get 99% in all your classes, that’s really hard to do if you have difficult classes.</p>
<p>The highest grades in a class I can maintain are 97%. I don’t know how anyone does better. Impressive.</p>
<p>Well, actually, I maintained a 180% in English class 3rd quarter. But I also memorized half of Hamlet for EC. Not really half, but about 240 lines, I think.</p>
<p>Umm the only class that I got a 99 in was U.S. History and once sophomore year I got a 100 in spanish. <----Those were classes I found easy and put in little or no effort for.</p>
<p>There are students in my school who are well rounded in all subjects. Its a mystery how they get 99’s in every class as well.</p>
<p>I had straight 100’s and above on my last report card.</p>
<p>It’s that easy…unless you’re 95% of my slacking senior class that doesn’t give a crap, then you get miserable grades in super-easy classes.</p>
<p>True story. </p>
<p>No really, work hard, get A’s. </p>
<p>There’s not much more to it than that.</p>
<p>I worked pretty hard on my last AP Art portrait and ended up with a 97 for that quarter. I wonder what it would take to get a 100. ;)</p>
<p>And my school doesn’t weight AP’s, etc. If you get a 90 in AP, that’s the grade. Nothing else.</p>
<p>My school weights AP courses 1.10 and honors courses 1.05. I got 100s and 99s in a lot of science and math courses, then got 95+ in my APs. Sadly, my school doesn’t offer honors science or honors language courses.</p>
<p>When my school sends the transcripts, they list both weighted and unweighted grades, with one column for each. All the way to the end is the weighted and unweighted cumulative averages.</p>
<p>Oh, and my school also averages in gym, which kills a lot of people’s grades…</p>
<p>Extreme grade inflation. I go to an extremely competitive HS (20+ Ivy students a year) and the Val usually finishes with a 95 UW GPA.</p>
<p>^Do you possibly go to Madison High School? just out of curiosity</p>
<p>I go to an extreme competitive, huge, well-known school too, even though its not that great of a school. We get like 30+ people into ivy’s each year. This year we had 6 Harvard and 5 MIT, and like 15+ Cornell</p>
