<p>Pick 1 or 2 and then answer the sub-question...ALSO: PROVIDE MORE INFO IF YOU CAN!</p>
<p>1.] They give us an: A, B, C, etc...
--- A.] It's not that hard to get an A in a class.
--- B.] It's hard to get an A.</p>
<p>2.] We get specific number grades such as: 94, 98, 99 etc..
--- A.] It's not hard to get a 100 in my class.
--- B.] I strive to get 97s and 98s etc....</p>
<p>Please be more specific, a sample answer would be:</p>

2B: No one gets 100s in our classes, we get high 90s BUT we have to work hard for every point!

</p>
<p>Also:
My school's report card says (on the back, but we get real number grades like 92 etc.):
A = 90-98
A+ = 98-100</p>
<p>Does this mean that if I have a 94 average in a Math class...colleges view it as an A similar to someone who goes to another high school which only gives letter grades like As etc...?</p>
<p>What would a 94 be on a 4.0 scale? I heard that its not convertible...</p>
<p>First off, I think every school's grading is different. Colleges use the grading at your school.</p>
<p>i.e. My school: 86-100=A, 73-85=B ... </p>
<p>So, if I get 86% in all my classes. I still get straight A's (GPA: 4.0)</p>
<p>Now, your questions:</p>
<p>-.- My school give both grades and percentages.</p>
<p>1B: Even though an A is only 86% in our school, it is challenging. </p>
<p>2B: Yeah, I strive for a high mark b/c my school use our average percentage to calculate the academic awards that we are going to get.</p>
<p>"Does this mean that if I have a 94 average in a Math class...colleges view it as an A similar to someone who goes to another high school which only gives letter grades like As etc...?"</p>
<p>yes.</p>
<p>"What would a 94 be on a 4.0 scale? I heard that its not convertible..."</p>
<p>you use the scale for calculating GPA at your school.</p>
<p>my school doesn't have a scale: there are two forms of gpa: 4.0 scaled and 100 scaled and I think that they are not convertible although Princeton Review says "95-100" = 4.0</p>
<p>1A: My school is an alternative high school, and you're not allowed to move on from an assignment until you get at LEAST a 75% on it. Plus, there are no deadlines, so you can spend as long as you need to on an assignment.</p>
<p>2A: Same as above. My school gives both, but no one really pays attention. On the transcripts it shows as simple letter grades, however, with no + or - involved.</p>
<p>I'm not sure actually...I mean: each year I guess at least ten kids go to worthy schools like cornell, mit, 1 went to princeton 2 yrs ago, 1 smart kid got into harvard this year...its a public hschool</p>
<p>99-100 A+
93-98 A
the rest doesnt matter. A+ is sooo hard =( and 98 counts as an A.....
all numbers are converted straight into a gpa, so 93=98. after the year is over, there is no difference between 93 and 98. none at all. both are 4.0 or 5.0, depending on weighted class or not. i hate our system. im always borderline! i get 98s in sooo many classes, and i could have slacked off and easily gotten a 93. or if i was smarter, or worked just a little harder, i couldve gotten a 99. its soo frustrating =(</p>
<p>Our school doesn't give minuses because they think it will make people feel bad. I don't know where they got that idea from, as most students would much rather have an A- than a B+....</p>
<p>The difficulty of getting an A depends on the teacher. For example, it's pretty easy to get an A in Latin. No one in AP Stats, on the other hand, has an A.</p>
<p>ull love this one:
its called the 120 system.
u take the number grade u make multiply it by 1.1 for regular classes 1.2 for honors classes and u get ur gpa out of 120. weird system. guess were a weird school. smart though(19 national merit finalists this year, 24 last year)</p>
<p>My school goes by a straight-up grade system.</p>
<p>90-100=A
80-89=B
70-79=C
60-69=D
50-59=F</p>
<p>And the individual percentage grades for each test/activity/thing is converted to a letter grade. So you can get a 90 on every single thing, in every single class, and have a 4.0 unweighted GPA.</p>
<p>Two years ago, my school changed from letter grade to number grades being reported on the report card. But transcripts sent to colleges still show the letter.</p>
<p>A= 89.5-100
B= 79.5-89.4
C= 69.5-79.4
etc.</p>
<p>Difficulty of getting an A depends on the teacher. Also, our final and midterm grades each count for 5% of the overall grade.
I hate our new grading system, though it let me get a 106 in H. Physics last year.</p>
