<p>Up to last semester, I have a 4.46. This semester I took 7 PreAP/ AP classes and have 5 As and 2 Bs. How do you calculate my GPA for the whole year?</p>
<p>Look to your school handbook, your guidance counselor, or your state requirements.</p>
<p>I know that in South Carolina, if you go to a public school, they have the Uniform Grading Policy and they calculate GPA that way. However, I go to a private school, and so my scale is completely different.</p>
<p>No one on here can answer that for you.</p>
<p>It’s the usual. 5.0 for AP and 4.0 for non AP. But I dont know if I should add up the two number and divide by two</p>
<p>Yeah, I live in SC and my GPA is 4.846. However, on a usual scale, it’s 4.24. SC grants specific weights for specific grades (unweighted 100 is 4.875, unweighted 93 is 4.0)</p>
<p>Take your GPA points and average them.
1.0 is D
2.0 is C
3.0 is B
4.0 is A</p>
<p>Add .5 for an honors class
Add 1 for an AP/IB/DE class</p>
<p>That’s how some districts do it. Contact your GC</p>

<p>The grading system in SC is so freaking weird. My private high school does the standard 4.0=A, 3.7=A-, etc. +.5 for honors +1 for AP. But I recalculated my GPA for LIFE Scholarship purposes on the SC scale and my GPA went from a 3.43 to a 4.18. That’s about the same difference you saw. It’s absurd.</p>
<p>doesn’t honors class and ap class get weighted the same way?</p>
<p>I came here ready to explain how to do it…up until I saw “the whole year part”. I only know semesters. Take the average of both maybe???</p>
