<p>4,3,2,1,0</p>

<p>honors +1
AP +2</p>

<p>AP Classes get weighted umm… .5 on your GPA. *** IS THAT *****? =)</p>

23

<p>A’s are:
AP- 6
Honors-5
Reg-4</p>

24

<p>My AP Human Geography teacher weighed well over three hundred pounds.</p>

25

<p>5 for an A in AP/Honors, regardless of +/-.</p>

26

<p>really? Can you please explain how this works?</p>

27

<p>100 in regular=4.0
100 in cp=4.5
100 in honors=5.0
100 in AP=5.5

<p>Our school’s system is arcane.
% grade - 58 = scaled grade (so 100%=42 and 58% or lower=0)
your scaled score gets:
+4 for honors or advanced
+8 for AP classes and honors pre-calc</p>

<p>Weighted scaled grades are then averaged together. I have about 33.5 overall, which puts me in the top 20%. Junior #1 (might become val) has a 40 or so cumulative, but the guy who had the highest grade last semester had a 42. You could theoretically get a 49 senior year but no one has even come near that.</p>

<p>Most kids don’t even know what a GPA is until junior year when the college counselors start to meet with groups of students.</p>

<p>AP and Pre-AP/Honors = 5.0
Normal = 4.0</p>

<p>No + or -</p>

5 B
4 C
3 D</p>

<p>5 points for Honors:
5 A
4 B
3 C
2 D</p>

<p>4 Points for Regular

<p>6.0(AP),5.0(H),4.0(S)-(1/8)(96-x) where x=number of points between 96 and your score, assuming your score is less than or equal to 96. </p>

<p>Oh, and normally no more than 2-4 people will typically earn a 96 or above in an honors class or AP class. (Although my school does not offer AP classes).</p>
