<p>Does anyone go to a school where one or all of the honors classes is weighted the same amount as one or all of the AP or IB classes? Please give a specific name of your high school. Thanks</p>
<p>Honors are weighted .5, AP is weighted 1 point, no IB<code>s offered at my school. I didn</code>t think any school<code>s weighted Honors a whole point, unless they didn</code>t do weighted GPA`s, only unweighted.</p>
<p>Honors are unweighted, AP is weighted .5</p>
<p>We have averages out of 100, and even weighted classes will almost never bring it even close to a 104/5. So seeing the “5.0 weighted average!” makes me think of a 125 which is ludicrous.</p>
<p>To get our average, regular classes are the same, honors are multiplied by 1.05, and AP classes are multiplied by 1.1.</p>
<p>Honors are weighted:</p>
<p>a=5 B=4 C=3 D=2</p>
<p>AP</p>
<p>a=6 B=5 C=4 D=3</p>
<p>We have a 6 point weighted system where there are three basic point categories:
Honors/APs (Level 1s in my school)
A=6 B=5 C=4 D=3
Academics (Level 2s; essentially your “normal” courses)
A=5 B=4 C=3 D=2
Level 3 and below (essentially remedial territory for most people)
A=4 B=3 C=2 D=1
Most people take all level 2s and the average GPA for my school (unweighted) is 3.2. So I’d say the average weighted is about a 4.2.
A somewhat important note is that the more credits a class is worth, the more it affects your GPA. Nearly all classes except semesterized classes are 5 credits, but lab sciences are 6 credits. So, basically science affects your GPA more than any other subject.</p>
<p>We only offer two honors courses at our school and neither are weighted at all. Dual-enrollment courses aren’t weighted, either.</p>
<p>AP courses are weighted by one extra point. We go off a 4.0 scale.</p>
<p>Honors & AP are weighted the same at my school.</p>
<p>Honors & AP: A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, F=0</p>
<p>No honors. AP gets 10 extra points and IB gets 15 extra points added to the grade. So it’s nearly impossible for an AP, or Dual-Credit student in the top ten percent but there are a few(like 1-3 out of 40-50ish).</p>
<p>Honors, AP, and IB are weighted the same at my school.
A=5, B=4, C=3, D=1, F=0</p>
<p>Well last year for honors and AP classes it was
A+=5
A=4.75
A-=4.5
B+=4.25
B=4
B-=3.75
C=2</p>
<p>or something along those lines</p>
<p>From my summer math teacher supposedly its different this year with
A-, A, A+= 5
B-,B,B+= 4
C=2</p>
<p>I dont think she’s right, but I really hope she is because I got an A- in her summer class when other people who are tied with me for being #1 got A’s. <em>fingers crossed</em></p>
<p>My school doesn’t rank period. It hinders students from taking challenging classes, in hopes of getting a better rank.</p>
<p>But otherwise, any Honors, AP, or class taken at CC is given an extra grad point, or 5/4 points.</p>
<p>No weight. At all.
Highest unweighted GPA gets it.</p>
<p>Honors is weighted 0.01 (yes, two decimal places)
AP is weighted 0.1 and only if you get a 3 or higher on the AP test.</p>
<p>If anyone ever posts their GPA anywhere on CC please use either the unweighted or both scores since every school uses a different weight system.</p>
<p>Honors and AP are the same when it comes to GPA calculation.
Our school essentially grades on a 5.0 scale. In regular classes,
A = 4 (this includes A+ and A-)
B = 3
C = 2
D = 1
F = 0</p>
<p>For honors and AP,
A = 5
B = 4
and so on.</p>
<p>We just get the grades in each class and whether or not they’re honors/AP/pre-AP, and then we average it out.</p>
<p>Rank is based on weighted GPA. If someone gets straight A’s and takes one AP class, but another gets A’s, a couple B’s, but takes 6+ AP classes, then obviously the person who takes more APs/Honors classes will be valedictorian.</p>
<p>AP/IB: A=6.0, B=4.5, C=3.0, D=1.5 (F is a 0 in every class)
Honors/Pre-AP/Pre-IB: A= 4.5, B=3.25, C=2.125, and D=1
Regular classes: 4, 3, 2, and 1</p>
<p>Rank is based on weighted GPA.</p>
<p>UW GPA, level of classes taken, and total credits.
Honors/AP classes aren’t weighted, but they matter for class rank.</p>
<p>Rank based on weighted GPA</p>
<p>Honors classes not weighted. AP on a 5.0 scale (A is 5, A- is 4.667, B+ 4.333,…)
Dual enrollment classes not weighted.</p>
