I know this was an extremely long time ago but I just read the thread and thought it’d be nice to clear some things up for future high school students who look at this.
My high school is based on a 4.3 scale, so I know this system pretty well. There’s barely any difference between a 4.3 scale and 4 scale (if you don’t have any A+'s). Here’s something to guide you by:
A+ = 4.3
A = 4
A- = 3.7
B+ = 3.3
B = 3
And so on just like the 4 scale. The only differences are the A+'s: on a 4 scale it is a 4, not a 4.3. My gpa right now is a 3.8, but when I convert it to the 4 scale nothing changes because I have no A+'s. This is why the difference between the two isn’t that big (unless you get all A+'s, in which case congratulations)
