<p>4 for an A, 3 for a B, etc
For APs only, 5 for an A, 3.75 for a B, 2.5 for a c</p>
<p>Most classes use the standard 90 for an A grading scale. AP biology, chem, and
Physics have an 83 for an A scale. AP lit and lang have a 93 for an A scale. :(</p>
<p>Wow, I didn’t know that so many schools did this! My school has no weighting whatsoever, it’s sort of disappointing.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what your unweighted GPA would be if you have a 98 average?</p>
<p>No weighting for any honors/APs.
Lame. We’re on the 4.0 scale.</p>
<p>My school district:</p>
<p>Unweighted, all classes
90-100: 4.0
80-89: 3.0
You get the point.</p>
<p>Weighted
A in “college placement” (regular, i.e. not remedial): 5.0
A in honors: 6.0
A in AP/IB/DE: 7.0</p>
<p>So someone might have an unweighted GPA in the 3s and a weighted GPA in the 5s or low 6s (since many 5.0 and 6.0 courses have to be taken before/with 7.0 courses).</p>
<p>In my school district round-offs are used, which is quite convenient (for some of my cases, anyway.) lol</p>
<p>89.5 - 100.0 = A
89.4 - 79.5 = B
79.4 - 69.5 = C
69.4 - 59.5 = D
59.4 - 0 = E (Yes, we use “E.”)</p>
<p>Regular & Honors</p>
<p>A = 4.0
B = 3.0
C = 2.0
D = 1.0
E = 0.0</p>
<p>AP/IB/Conc. Enroll.</p>
<p>A = 5.0
B = 4.0
C = 3.0
D = 1.0
E = 0.0</p>
<p>*WEIGHTED GPA
non Honors or AP:
A 4
B 3
C 2
D 1</p>
<p>Honors and APs:
A 5
B 4
C 3
D why are you in APs?</p>
<p>*SCHOLASTIC GPA (for valedictorian) (minimum for valedictorian is 4.65)
for every semester of an Honors or AP class, add .02 for every A and .01 for every B
i.e. AP Biology A/A = 4.02/4.02 = 4.04
Basically only the decimal counts.</p>
<p>A = 89.5 - 100% = 4.0<br>
B = 79.5 - 89.4% = 3.0
C = 64.5 - 79.4% = 2.0
D = 55.0 - 64.4% = 1.0</p>
<p>Add 1.0 to every class that’s honors or AP(provided you get a C or better, for some classes).
And we don’t have class rank. No class rank = awesome.</p>
<p>In my future HS, an A in a normal class is 4. In honor class an A is 4.5. In AP, if you take the national exam, and you get an A in class (regardless of what you get in the national exam), you get a 5. If you take AP class and get an A, but you don’t take the national exam, then you get 4.5.</p>
<p>What the heck…what school allows an extra 3-5 points added on for AP/Honors??! At our school if you get an A in an AP/Honors, you get one extra grade point per class, so what would normally be 4 points becomes 5. If you get a B, you get 4 points, 3 points for a C, and so on. So If I’m taking 6 classes, 3 of them AP/Honors, and I get an A in all of them, this is what my GPA would look like:</p>
<p>AP Bio: 5pts
Spanish 4 Hon: 5pts
Amer Lit Hon: 5pts
Physio and Anatomy: 4pts
Race and Social Justice: 4pts
Trigonometry: 4pts</p>
<p>GPA: 4.5</p>
<p>Standard grading scale: </p>
<p>A: 93-100%
B: 85-92%
C: 77-84%
D: 70-76%
F: <69%</p>
<p>There are round-offs like another poster alluded to, but not every teacher does it. Also, some teachers just use the typical 10 point scale, but most just use the one listed above. I’m not positive, but I believe IB/AP classes are weighted like:</p>
<p>A=5.0 GPA
B=4.0 GPA
C=3.0 GPA
D=2.0 GPA
F=0.0 GPA</p>
