<p>Mine is:
A+: 4.3
A: 4.0
A-: 3.7
B+: 3.3
B: 3.0
B-: 2.7
C+: 2.3
C: 2.0
C-: 1.7
D+: 1.3
D: 1
D-: .7
F: 0</p>
<p>.5 weighted for honors, 1.0 for AP (if you pass the class and take the exam).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s basically the equivalent of bumping by a letter grade.</p>
<p>^
Oh, I see what you’re saying now. 10 extra points out of a 100, so the highest possible grade is a 110.</p>
<p>I thought you meant a 10 on the GPA scale at first. Like a 4.0 unweighted would translate to like a 7.8 weighted.</p>
<p>At my school, Honors and AP both count for a 5.0 if you get an A, which is ridiculous. Honors means NOTHING. Those dumb kids in Honors Chemistry are getting a higher GPA than me even though I study 5X harder than them for AP. They just started binomial nomenclature today. To put the things in perspective, they actually believed that Dihdyrogen Monoxide was a toxic substance when the Chemistry teacher told them that. We’re on equilibrium…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yah, it pretty much sucks. Just because only 10% of the school tries doesn’t mean we need basic level students becoming 7th or 8th in a class of 150</p>
<p>straight-up grades out of 100.
magnet school, so everything is honors/ap/college-level. nice and not-complicated</p>
<p>93-100=A, 85-92=B, etc
4.0 regular, 5.0 honors, 6.0 AP/IB</p>
<p>So theoretically someone can have a 6.0 but it’s not technically possible because nobody can take all AP/IB over 4 years, so the highest is like a 5.12 weighted.</p>
<p>I’m on the basic scale of a 90-100= 4.0, 80-89= 3.0, and honors and AP add one point,</p>
<p>But my school is on a trimester schedule, so when I look back to previous trimesters, the scheduling affects the GPA you can get. Two trimesters out of three is considered a year of a course, so my junior year, I was able to get a 4.8 one trimester, a 5.0 (all my classes ended up honors) another trimester, and then the last trimester, I got a 4.4. Though my yearly courses were the same, my trimester course load wavered dramatically, thence my GPA.</p>

<p>…</p>
<p>
yes
</p>
<p>:) …</p>
<p>my school doesnt calculate GPA!!! 
Or rank!!! Yayyyy
thank god it doesnt, first of all i think that calculating a GPA to compare to other kid’s GPAs is just unfair, a B at one school could be an A+ at another. Also, rankings are just ridiculous… our schools 50% SAT range for math is 630-740. 25% of the people in my grade got better than a 740 on the math portion of the SAT. (The other sections are nearly identical to that, with 740 being the end of the range). Not a single person in my grade got a D last year in any course. I am probably at about the upper half of my grade in terms of “ranking”. And if you compared my ranking to a kid from a public school where the bottom 50% is flunking and not even going to go to college, then that system would be seriously flawed</p>
<p>“i think that calculating a GPA to compare to other kid’s GPAs is just unfair”</p>
<p>^more political correctness… geez, competition encourages excellence! If we just make some sort of artificial happyland, no one’s going to do their best.</p>
<p>4.0 A
3.67 A-
3.33 B+
3 B</p>
<p>No weighting for honors or AP classes whatsoever.</p>
<p>okay bindersopen thats not what I said at all, if you had read my post you would understand. What my point was is that you have to take the difficulty of the high school into account. A B+/A- average at my school takes hard work.</p>
<p>NJSoccer, class ranks are not designed to compare across schools; ranks only serve to show how well a student is doing within his/her school, among students who receive the same education. Within the school, what may be “hard work” for someone may be more reachable to other students; class rank identifies those students as the best in their school, those who overcome such barriers and are ultimately the best prepared for college.</p>
<p>To compare beyond the school, on a national level, colleges use your SAT/ACT scores, AP/IB scores, and so on.</p>
<p>my school has a really nice system,actually.
A+, A, and A- all count for 4.0
and all Bs count the same, etc. </p>
<p>so at my school, A- don’t hurt your GPA. however, colleges do see the -/+s.</p>
