<p>I've seen so many chance threads where the student has a 4.5 GPA and thats virtually impossible at my school. Pretty much the highest possible is a 4.2 when applying to college, and that would be all As with one AP freshman year, one soph year, and 5 junior year (maximum allowed.)</p>
<p>My school only weights APs and does it on this scale:
5 for an A
3.75 for a B
2.5 for a C
1.25 for a D</p>
<p>Standard:
A=4
B=3
C=2
D=1
Honors:
A=5
B=4
C=3
D=2
AP:
A=6
B=5
C=4
D=3</p>
<p>just ap and dual:
A - 5
B - 4
C - 3
D isn’t weighted
F isn’t weighted</p>
<p>Grading Scale:
A 94-100
B 87-93
C 79-86
D 70-78
F 69 and below</p>
<p>Standard (There’s like 3 of those?)
A+ 4.33
A 4
A- 3.67
B+3.33
B 3.0
…F 0.0</p>
<p>Honors+ .5
AP+1.0</p>
<p>Pretty standard.</p>
<p>^Schools do that to make their students appear to have higher GPA’s for college admissions. Some colleges, in turn, are more willing to accept these students, so that they can boast a much higher average GPA.</p>
<p>College Prep Courses:
A (90-100) - 4
B (80-89) - 3
C (70-79) - 2
D (60-69) - 1</p>
<p>AP and Honor Courses:
A - 5
B - 4
C - 3
D - 2</p>
<p>We’re really ****ed up.</p>
<pre><code> Regular Honors/AP
</code></pre>
<p>A 5.0 6.0
B 4.0 5.0
C 3.0 4.0
D 2.0 3.0
F fail fail</p>
<p>plusses are .3 added to the base grade, minuses .3 is subtracted.</p>
<p>Pluses or minuses don’t affect your GPA at my school. It’s the standard system with honors/ AP/ IB giving you 5 instead of 4. </p>
<p>You can take six classes at the most, and can have all weighted classes which will give you a 5.0 GPA junior and senior year.</p>
<p>It’s impossible to have an cumulative GPA of a 5.0, though. As an underclassman, you’re limited to three weighted classes, and four at the most if you take a higher math level such as AP Calc or IB Math 3-4. </p>
<p>When you’re an underclassman, even if you technically take all honors classes, the only ones that are weighted are English, history, and science (bio/ physics/ chem).</p>
<p>AP/IB
A 5.0
B 4.0
C 3.0
D 2.0
F 0.0</p>
<p>Anything else
A 4.0
B 3.0
C 2.0
D 1.0
F 0.0</p>
<p>Plus and minus do not affect GPA. It really frustrates me.</p>
<p>Some classes (depending on teachers) have it that
88+ = A
78-88 = B
68-78 = C
etc.</p>
<p>Everything else
90+ = A
80-90 = B
70 - 80 = C
etc</p>
<p>Regular and Honors:
A=4
B=3
C=2
D=1
F=no credit and 0</p>
<p>AP
A=5
B=4
C=3
D=1
F=no credit and 0</p>
<p>AP/Honors
6 = 100
5
4
3
2
1</p>
<p>Regular:
5 = 100
4
3
2
1
0</p>
<p>These don’t go by letter though, so a 93 in an AP class is a 5.3.</p>
<p>Regular classes (Advanced, some Honors):</p>
<p>A-4
B-3
C-2
D-1
F-0</p>
<p>AP, Some Honors:</p>
<p>A-5
B-4
C-3
D-1
F-0</p>
<p>Each teacher makes his/her own scale, but it’s usually 89.5-100=A, 79.5-89.4=B, etc. (though some departments have a 1-percent-wide D range and larger C and F ranges).</p>
<p>
If you were replying to my post, then could you please elaborate on your statement?</p>
<p>Regular: Honors/AP
A 4.0 4.5
A- 3.7 4.2
B + 3.3 3.8
B 3.0 3.5
B - 2.7 3.2
C + 2.3 2.8
C 2.0 2.5
C - 1.7 2.2
D + 1.3 1.3
D 1.0 1.0
D- .7 .7
F -0- -0- </p>
<p>Also, my school offers no Honors/AP English and no Honors Social Studies, so the highest GPA would be around 4.3…
However, we don’t calculate an official GPA - the school lets colleges do it after looking through our classes.</p>
<p>No weighted system.</p>
<p>A+:4 80%
A: 3.6 70%
B+: 3.2 65%
and so on…</p>
<p>Yes, I know it looks really easy but it’s not.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This. </p>
<p>10char.</p>
<p>Wow…that’s unbelievable that at some schools you can get a 6.0 on a 4.0 scale…33% more…</p>
<p>Our school just leaves it on a 1-100 scale, with an extra 5% for honors and 7% AP. This seems pretty reasonable to me.</p>
<p>It’s out of 100 and not converted to 4.0</p>
<p>90-100= A
80-89= B
70-79= C</p>
<p>If you take an AP course, then your final grade for that course is 6% more points.</p>
<p>in Honors/Ap</p>
<p>6.0 - A
5.0 - B
4.0 - C
2.0 - D
0.0 - F</p>
<p>Regular</p>
<p>5.0 - A
4.0 - B
3.0 - C
2.0 - D
0.0 - F</p>
<p>plus or minus doesn’t count.</p>
<p>Regular/Honors (all honors except Precalculus are weighted the same as regular courses)
A = 4
B = 3
C = 2
D = 1</p>
<p>AP
A= 5
B = 4
C = 3
D = 2</p>
<p>90-100 A
80 - 89 B
70 -79 C
60 - 69 D
69 and lower - F</p>
<p>So yeah, pretty standard. To the people getting 6s for APs… wow! :P</p>
