Weighted GPA

<p>How is weighted GPA calculated?</p>

<p>depends on your school. For example, mine takes all honors/APs you've taken and on a weighted scale, scores those classes as a 5.00 for A, 3.75 for B, 2.50 for C, etc. while the normal classes are on the normal 1, 2, 3, 4 scale.</p>

<p>why is a b a 2.5? That's low</p>

<p>wow... that is low for school... dayam.</p>

<p>mine is A = 4.5, B= 3.5, C=2.5</p>

<p>for APs: A=5.0, B=4.0, C=3.0</p>

<p>yup</p>

<p>Is there any way to find out how the GPA is scored for a certain school or state?</p>

<p>College<em>Here</em>I_Come!'s weighted b=3.75. c=2.5</p>

<p>Ours is on a 5 point scale.</p>

<p>A=5
B=4
C=3
D=1
F=0</p>

<p>So if you don't pass the class it doesn't count as weighted. There are no extra points for AP classes, they're all the same. Only weighted classes count towards your weighted GPA. Our unweighted GPA is on a 4 point scale.</p>

<p>My school works on a 100-point scale, so for weighted GPA you take your AP classes and times the grade by 1.25. So, if you got a 92% in the class, it goes into your GPA as 115%. Honors classes aren't weighted.</p>

<p>The school is chaging the weight, though. Sophomores and Freshmen will have AP classes weighted by only 1.1.</p>

<p>Mine goes 0/1/2/3/4 for regular classes, 0/2/3/4/5 for honors/AP/Princeton classes.</p>

<p>holy crap, your schools weight honors and AP's like crazy!! We just get a .33 boost for each honors/AP class. So an A- is an A, or a B+ is an A-. </p>

<p>For example, you have 6 classes, 3 A's, 3 B's, 3 classes are honors. Thats 4+4+4+3+3+3 + .33 + .33 + .33 = 3.665. Unweighted (without the 3 .33's) that's a 3.5.</p>
