How much does your school weight?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>For an AP class, IB, Honors, etc...?</p>

2

<p>I ask because my school adds .1 onto a GPA for each AP class, I was just wondering if this was the same for everyone else…</p>

3

<p>My school adds 1 for AP and .5 for honors.</p>

4

<p>One is quite a lot? Like if you had a 3 and took an AP class you would have a 4?</p>

5

<p>probably a lot, it’s made out of concrete and brick which are both pretty heavy</p>

6

<p>Jarsilver, I believe you have confused the verb with the noun.</p>

7

<p>oh I see.</p>

<p>well it doesn’t weight at all. in fact it is very impatient. yesterday it couldn’t even weight to start 5 minutes later so that I could get to first period.</p>

8

<p>.17 We have very few weighted classes.</p>

9

<p>we use 100.0 scale</p>

<p>1.08 for honors
1.12 for AP</p>

10

<p>haha our school super-weights.</p>

<ul>
<li>0.2 for honors/ap classes if you get all A’s, some weird averaging method if you get B’s.
So basically if you get all A’s with 7 AP classes you get a 5.4 !</li>
</ul>

11

<p>Hahaha, oh homonyms.</p>

12

<p>My school doesn’t weight grades.</p>

<p>I’m ROFL at jarsilver.</p>

13

<p>My school weights +0.5 for honors and +1.0 for AP</p>

<p>@bamboozle
How does +0.2 give you a 5.4 with straight A’s that would give you a 4.2.</p>

<p>I thought that my school graded heavily but their are kids on cc with GPA’s in excess of 6.0.</p>

<p>That sucks if your school doesn’t weight though because that means that 2 kids could have the same GPA where one works a lot in honors and AP classes and the other sleeps in low level classes.</p>

<p>EDIT:
@Bamboozle</p>

<p>I just got your weighting system its +0.2 per AP class.
At my school its not per class, so for example you get an A in an AP class and an A in an honors class you would get a 5.0 and a 4.5 and your GPA would average to a 4.75.</p>

14

<p>6 for honors/ap, 5 for regular</p>

15

<p>+.33 for AP of Accelerated classes, but you can never get more then a 4 for any class.</p>

16

<p>That’s weird phoenix there must be a lot of 4.0 GPA’s at your school.</p>

17

<p>It doesn’t matter; colleges recalculate your GPA according to their own methods.</p>

18

<p>A in regular = 4 points, A in honors/AP = 5 points.</p>

19

<p>My school adds .2 for every weighted (AP and honors) course.</p>

20

<p>My school is: +1 for AP, +.5 for Honors, +0 for Regular, -.5 for “Basic”
Although, all D’s earn 1 point for GPA and all F’s earn 0 points.</p>
