My school goes off of a 12 point weighted system. We have four levels, Level 4= 12 points, Level 3= 8.5, Level 2= 6, and Level 1= 4. Its a weird system, hence if you get an A in that class you receive the max amount of points then it goes downhill from there and then they get all averaged and thats how I received a 10.17. Its different I know.
