Different schools use different scales. I have seen 6.0 systems, and I have seen schools that give no weighting for honors or AP courses and so use a strict 4.0 scale. I have even seen 5.0 systems that “cheat” in the sense that they give 5.0 for an A in AP courses but more for an A in a college course. That is why I always look at the UW GPA of a student and ask how many AP and similar courses they have taken. It puts everyone on the same scale. Most colleges do the same thing, recalculating your GPA to a 4.0 scale if the high school didn’t provide it.
