| GPA Scale
How does the scale work for GPAs from 1.0-4.0 and 1.0-5.0???? What are the numbers between i.e. What's considered a 3.0 in numerical terms?

It really depends on your school. Unweighted GPA (which is what colleges look at) is out of 4.0 and doesn't give anything extra for honors or AP courses. Most high schools use one of these two scales (or something similar to it):
Scale 1:
A ---> 4.0
B ---> 3.0
C ---> 2.0
D ---> 1.0
F ---> 0
Scale 2:
97+ ---> 4.0
93+ ---> 3.8
90+ ---> 3.6
87+ ---> 3.4
83+ ---> 3.2
80+ ---> 3.0
77+ ---> 2.8
73+ ---> 2.6
71+ ---> 2.4
70+ ---> 2.0
Below 70 ---> 0

Mine is on a 4.5 scale
4.5= A+ (95-100)
4.0=A (90-94)
3.5=B+(85-89)
and so on

our county's grading system is awesome. We have the basic 4 point scale mentioned first but our weighting system allows weighted GPAs to grow by the semester, even with crappy grades. For every semester of an honors or AP course, as long as we make a C, .04 or .08 respectively is added to our unweighted GPA. I have a 6.0 even.

| GPA scale
I have a 4.062 GPA based on a 6.0 scale.
Does anyone know what it would be, if it was on a 4.0 scale?

| GPA scale
Again, i have a 4.062 based on a 6.0 scale and i would like to know the GPA if it were on a 4.0 scale. I understand what grade and all it would be but i would like to know if it would be like a 2.7 or 2.8 or something around there on a 4.0 scale. Can anyone help me?

My school doesnt do that stupid stuff w/ crap out of 11.0 or 25.3 or those weird scales like that that confuse ppl more than they actually tell ur real GPA. At my school they give us only our true hardcore GPA - all our classes averaged together (of course differing between half year courses and such), out of a 100.

Pretty typical:
5.0= 90+ AP, high honors
4.0=honors, normal 90+, 80-89 AP, high honors
etc...

4.33 = A+, 100
4.0 = A, 95ish
3.67 = A-, 90ish
...and so on...
2.0 = C, 70ish
No classes weighted at all.
Is this typical?
