<p>i have seen some crazy weighting systems that some schools use, like where its out of 7? what does your school use? Heres mine:</p>
<p>Honors grading:
H=96%+ in class- 5.0 gpa
A-4.5
B-3.5
C-2.5</p>
<p>Non-honors:
A-4
B-3
C-2
d-1</p>
<p>Honors option:
H-5
A-4
B-3
C-2</p>
<p>is this pretty much the standard?</p>
<p>Regular::
A = 4
B = 3
c = 2
D = 1
F = 0 </p>
<p>Advance Placement:: ( + honors physics & accounting II)
A = 5
B = 4
C = 3
D = 2
F = 0</p>
<p>We have only honors options (all college courses are weighted as honors, too) and regular courses.</p>
<p>Standard:
A - 4
B - 3
C - 2
D - 1</p>
<p>Honors:
A - 5
B - 4
Below a B-, you must drop an honors course, so C is 2 with an "Honors withdrawn" symbol. Ouch!!!</p>
<p>Oh, yeah and my school is stupid enough to put the maximum down as 5, but I'm going to recalculate it factoring in the honors course limits and required courses without honors options :)</p>
<p>Regular (non academic such as band, choir, health etc.)
A- 4
A- - 3.7
B+-3.3
B-3
B- - 2.7
....</p>
<p>Regular (academic)- multiply by 1.05</p>
<p>Honors- multiply by 1.1</p>
<p>AP- multiply by 1.2</p>
<p>Wow. My school doesn't weight at all.</p>
<p>Regular:
A+ (97+) = 4.3
A (93-96) = 4.0
A- (90-92) = 3.7
B+ (87-89)= 3.3
B (83-86)= 3.0
etc. </p>
<p>AP (no weighting for honors):
A+ = 4.6
A = 4.3
A- = 4.0
B+ = 3.7
B = 3.3
...and so on. Basically it's +.3 for APs.</p>
<p>wow, that's crazy. i'm taking several AP classes (all AP except math) and my GPA is the same unweighted and weighted.</p>
<p>my school doesnt weight.</p>
<p>does anyone know if the grades on the college section of collegeboard are weighted or unweighted? i mean this thing: </p>

<p>No weighting here.</p>
<p>APs deserve weights. Honors classes DONT deserve weights. The person with the highest class rank should NEVER be past 4.3. If they go any higher, than something is wrong.</p>
<p>In my school honors classes are not weighted, only APs. We have a 12 point grading scale.</p>
<p>A+ 12
A 11
A- 10
B+ 9
B 8
B- 7
C+ 6
C 5
C- 4
D+ 3
D 2
D- 1
F 0</p>
<p>APs are weigted one letter grade up. So A+ is 15, A is 14, etc.</p>
<p>I don't know anyone else who has this system.</p>
<p>ours is on a 6.25 scale.<br>
Honors/AP
A+-6.25
A-6
B-5
C-4
D-3</p>
<p>"Academic" regular classes
A-5
B-4
C-3
D-2</p>
<p>General (sped level)
A-4
B-3
C-2
D-1</p>
<p>to convert to 4.0 scale they multiply by 0.666666. however, there's no possible way to get more than a 5.5ish with all the academic level electives we have to take... =/</p>
<p>Everything for me is
A/A+ 4.0
A- 3.666666
B+ 3.333333
B 3.0000
C+ 2.666666
C 2.333333
C- 2.00000
and so on</p>
<p>For honors an A goes from a 91% to 98% and A+ is 98% to 100%
For AP classes an A goes from 89.5% and A+ is 96.5% to 100%</p>
<p>Regular"
A=4
B=3
C=2
D=1
F=0</p>
<p>AP
A=4.025
B=3.025
C=2.025
D=1
F=0</p>
<p>Regular:
A: 4
A-: 3.67
B+: 3.33
B: 3.0
You get the idea.</p>
<p>For AP/honors:
If you got a B+, it gets upgraded to an A- on your transcript. So half a grade.</p>
<p>For all classes:</p>
<p>A 4.0
A- 3.7
B+ 3.3
B 3.0
B- 2.7
etc.</p>
<p>Then they weight by multiplying the number of quarters of AP classes by .0125 and adding the product to the cumulative GPA.</p>
<p>So, for example, if a student took 11 AP classes over 4 years and got all "A"s in all of their classes, their cumulative GPAs would be 4.0 unweighted and 4.55 weighted.</p>
<p>GPAs using this method are generally similar to those under the "add a point for AP" method, but with a significant statistical difference: A student who takes an equal number of APs as his peers and also takes a greater number of non-AP classes is not penalized by GPA dilution under this system.</p>
<p>Some schools, like mine, rank but don't weigh. It's a bad combonation.</p>
<p>From what I have heard and read it doesn't really matter what/who/how your specific school weight your GPA because the college admissions people recalculate your GPA to their standards so everyone is coming in more or less at the same starting point.....so to speak.</p>
<p>Agree with Tarheel, I do not think that colleges pay much attention to weighted, they take UW. They also consider what school you are coming from. If school does not rank, they still determine rank based on school senior class profile.</p>
<p>We don't have weighing :
Standard no matter what class
A - 4
B - 3
C - 2
D - 1</p>
