<p>+.5 for honors and AP courses</p>
<p>Ours is CP is 4.0 for a 93, 4.5 for Honors, and 5.0 for AP. Then you add or subtract an eighth for each point above or below 93. I’ve been surprised to see such small weightings like the OP.</p>
<p>My school does a 100 point scale. I have no idea how to actually calculate my gpa. 92+ is an A at my school.</p>
<p>Unweighted: Multiply the final numeric grade by the credit value of each course divided
by the total credits attempted.</p>
<p>Weighted: Each subject is assigned a numerical value, according to its “academic
challenge”, which determines the number of points added to the final grade for the course. The adjusted final grade is then multiplied by the number of credits earned. The product of this process is then divided by the total academic course credits attempted.
Ap - 10, Honors - 6, Accel - 3, CP - 0</p>
<p>AP/IB</p>
<p>97+ = 5.0 93+ = 4.8 90+ = 4.6 87+ = 4.4 83+ = 4.2 8.0+ = 4.0</p>
<p>Honors</p>
<p>Same as above, but starts at 4.5 GPA</p>
<p>Regular</p>
<p>Same As above, but starts at 4.0 GPA</p>
<p>Regular/Honors Classes:
A = 4.0 , B = 3.0 , C = 2.0 , D = 1.0 , F = 0
AP/Pre-AP Classes:
A = 5.0 , B = 4.0 , C = 3.0 , D = 2.0 , F = 0</p>
<p>An A in an AP class is calculates at 6.0 into your GPA, an A in an honors course counts as a 5.0, and an A in a regular class scores as 4.0.</p>
<p>I go to private school and every class is considered “honors” but they don’t put the title on it. And AP classes have no weight whatsoever. Frustrating.</p>
<p>We have no honors, just Pre-AP and AP… both of those weight a full grade point higher. So and A is 5, B is 4, etc. Cut-off for the top 25% in my son’s class was a 4.19, which means you MUST take a few AP’s or Pre-AP’s AND make A’s if you hope to even crack the top quarter.</p>
<p>Nothing. College Classes, AP, Honors, and Introductory Basket Weaving are all weighted the same.</p>
<p>.33 for anything higher than regular. </p>
<p>Could be worse.</p>
<p>Every Honors class gets a 0.5 boost, and every AP class gets a boost of 1.0.
It never diminishes due to the grades you receive either.
For example, if you get a A in AP World, you’ll get boosted from a 4.0 to a 5.0.
But even if you were to get a D in AP World, you’d still boost up from a 1.0 to a 2.0 in my class.
A pretty nice system, in my opinion.</p>
<p>Our school got rid of weighted GPA a few years back. Our students tend to be overachieving, stress out over an A, need to go to Ivy League, etc. people, so there was great outrage over the decision to get rid of weighted GPA, especially from the parents of those overachieving, stress out… students.</p>
<p>However, don’t colleges calculate Weighted GPA/ take into consideration your honors/AP classes anyways?</p>
<p>I’m eternally jealous of those whose schools weight honors classes. At my school, regular and honors classes are out of a 4.0, and AP classes are out of a 5.0. If honors classes were weighted, my GPA would be at least .5 points higher, lmao.</p>
<p>Mine weights that way too. How does it work with the weighted GPA on applications when some schools weight honors classes too? Wont my weighted be lower b/c my honor classes dont get extra weight?</p>
<p>My school weights both AP and Honors classes:</p>
<p>Regular:
A: 4 B: 3 C: 2 D: 1 F:0</p>
<p>Honors:
A: 5 B: 4 C: 3 D: 2 F:0</p>
<p>AP:
A: 6 B: 5 C: 4 D: 3 F:0</p>
<p>Oddly enough, most classes at the local university (UNC-CH) are only worth honors credit, even though they are literally college level courses, which AP classes are supposed to emulate.</p>
