Chem T2- 97
Gym- 98 lol (i got the grade cause i am on track, otherwise i would have gotten the default 85)
AP Euro- 92, with the 1.1 curve its 101.2</p>

<p>average 98.03 (highest it ever has been and probably ever will be)</p>

<p>Just curious.. do you guys get percentages as your final grades or are they just letter grades? My school does percentages, so basically every point counts...</p>

<p>Here are mine then...

<p>Term GPA: 4.0
Year GPA: 3.87
Cumulative GPA: 3.93 (We don't weight. We have 20 valedictorians. Boo.)</p>

<p>No more B's and I can get a 3.97...is it sad that I calculated that?</p>

<p>Noel, in my school we don't convert grades to letters- our grades for the year are percentages. We then convert them to a GPA scale:
ex.
98-100=4.0
96-97=3.9
94-95=3.8
92-93=3.7
...and so on.
I think the percentage system is better, b/c then people don't feel like beating up their teachers when they get an 89.4% and the teacher doesn't give them a 90. It's just one point then, instead of a whole letter grade.</p>

<p>Chemistry Honors-B+
English 2 Honors-A+

<p>For Every Class Percentage Overall:
90%+ +4
80-89% +3
70-79% +2
60-69% +1
50-59% 0</p>

<p>In order to achieve a 4.0, one must get 90%+'s in ALL classes. (With the exception of Honors, which one must sometimes get 93%+'s)</p>

<p>Student A</p>

<p>Algebra II/Tri~99% +4
Composition/Literature~95% +4
Science~97 +4
Cultural Geography/History~101 +4</p>

<p>(4+4+4+4)/4=4.0 GPA</p>

<p>(99+95+97+101)/4=98% average</p>

<p>Student B</p>

<p>Algebra II/Trig~90% +4
Composition/Literature~90% +4
Science~80% +3
Cultural Geography/History~80% +3</p>

<p>(4+4+3+3)/4=3.5 GPA</p>

<p>(90+90+80+80)/4~85.00%</p>

<p>Student C</p>

<p>Algebra II/Trig~100% +4
Composition/Literature~100% +4
Science~70% +2
Cultural Geography/History~70% +2</p>

<p>(4+4+2+2)/4=3.0 GPA</p>

<p>(100+100+70+70)/4~85%</p>

<p>Students B and C have the same percentage, but DIFFERENT GPA's...hmmm.</p>

<p>thesloc....</p>

<p>Student A:
Course 1=89%
Course 2=89%
Course 3=89%
Course 4=89%
Average=89%, GPA=3.0</p>

<p>Student B:
Course 1=80%
Course 2=80%
Course 3=80%
Course 4=90%
Average=83% GPA=3.25 </p>

<p>Look at that- Student A has an average SIX POINTS HIGHER than Student B but a lower GPA. All I can say is: that is gaaaaay. I can't believe that some schools are allowed to be so unfair. Lol I'm glad my school isn't.</p>

<p>Spanish 3 - A<br>
APUSH - B
AP EngComp - A
AP Calc AB - A<br>
Physics - A<br>
Genetics/Ecology - A</p>

<p>I can't believe you guys have GPA's of 5.25!!! That is so unfair!!! My school doesn't weight classes the highest that you can get at my school is a 4.3! (an A+ is worth 4.3 points). I so wish I we had weighted grades b/c I take all honors and AP's.</p>

<p>Actually; this is more than fair. Because in the long run, kids that go by the 'percentage' can get a 80% and still average out a 90% overall if they get 100% in a different class. Of course; your students a and b are theoretical and so are mine. But trust me; GPA's CAN be Better!</p>
