<p>how does your high school calculate your GPA?(both weighted and unweighted) is it a 4.0 scale???</p>

2

<p>AP +1
Honors +.5 </p>

<p>weighted GPA is just calculated, but there isn't grade inflation... it's tough to get an A in an honors or AP class.</p>

3

<p>Ours won't calculate GPA for us, just a numerical GPA, which is somewhat similar at least. The weighting system is such: regular and honors classes are out of 100 and AP classes are out of 110. Which is BASSSSICALLY the same as saying +0.0 for reg and honors, +1.0 for AP.</p>

4

<p>A 90 is a 3.5 Need I continue?</p>

5

<p>School used to weight in which honors was x1.1 and AP x1.25, but now they don't weight anymore...</p>

6

<p>AP +.25, that's it, I hate it so much. almost all classes have honors options but you get nothing for it</p>

7

<p>it's unweighted, but if your applying to a college, the colleges look at your weighted grade.</p>

8

<p>This school bases it on Final Grades... -.-</p>

9

<p>I was wondering about this too because some people on cc have like 4.2 UW and I don't even know how that's possible.</p>

10

<p>some classes like AP's are weighted.</p>

<p>that's why "A B in AP is better than an A in regular" is very very true for us.</p>

11

<p>Honors and APs +1
Ironically, these "honors" and "AP" classes are ridiculously easy to attain A's in.</p>

12

<p>@elleway, are you saying my GPA is considered unweighted</p>

13

<p>What percentage grade is each number on the 4 point scale? I feel like this varies among schools?</p>

14

<p>To calculate unweighted GPA:
A = 90-100 4.0
B = 80-89 3.0
so on...</p>

<p>Add them all up divide by number of classes.. simple.</p>

<p>Weighted GPA:
Then, for how ever many semesters of honors courses, you times the sum of them x .02
(For example, if I took four year long honors courses, I'd do 8 x .02 = .16)</p>

<p>Then, the same thing but for AP is .04 per semester.
Lets say 4 AP courses, means 8 x .04 = .32</p>

<p>The system is good. I like it.</p>

15

<p>^
I would kill for that system.</p>

16

<p>A- is a 3.66, A is a 4.00, A+ is 4.33, etc.</p>

<p>Honors courses are weights as 1.05, and AP courses are weighted as 1.1.</p>
