<p>At my kids’ school, an A in a regular course was a 4.0 , A in honors was a 4.5 and an A in AP was 5.0. They also did the 97-100 was an A and thus received the top point value and so on.</p>
<p>School did rank. On college applications I think they asked for w. and uw. Don’t know about SAT form.</p>
<p>I think the weighting encourages the students to push themselves more.</p>
