Weighted GPA

<p>At my school we do not have different scales for more rigorous classes. Ex. An "A" in a AP class is considered a 4.0, B a 3.0, etc. The only thing is we get extra points added to our grades (3 for honors, 5 for AP). Is the grade weighted or not?</p>

<p>Of course it’s weighted…</p>

<p>Well I was just wondering because the most common thing I see is the AP class is converted to a 5 point scale. And of course we do not get a weighted vs unweighted GPA on our transcripts.</p>

<p>So your system is on a 9.0 point scale, as apposed to an unweighted 4.0 scale, and AP/honors classes are weighted differently than standard classes. It’s not rocket science.</p>

<p>No, all of our classes regardless if AP or reg are on a 4.0 Scale. I meant we get 5 extra points added to our actual grade. If I made a 95 in an AP class, I would have a 100 with the extra points.</p>

<p>It’s weighted because you get a higher grade on an AP class with the same percentage.</p>

<p>It is probably considered weighted. To fin the unweighted grade you would take back the extra points given to you, and the resulting grades wiuld be your final grade.</p>

<p>Thank you semaphore12 and rob1995. I asked because weighted vs unweighted gpa isn’t really talked about at my school.</p>

<p>Yes it is considered weighted.
At my school CP classes are 4 points for an A, Honors are 5 and AP are 6.</p>
