How does your school weigh classes?

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>SC has one of the weirdest grading systems ever:</p>

<p>A : 93-100
B: 85 - 93
IDK from there down. >_>.</p>

<p>The weighing system is even stranger:</p>

<p>‘CP’ or ‘College Prep’ classes. These are the lowest tier, other than tech classes. An ‘A’ here will net you a 4.0.</p>

<p>Honors classes. An ‘A’ will net you a 5.37 for your GPA.
AP/IB/Dual Credit classes get you a 5.87.</p>

<p>The top ten at my school graduate with GPAs between 4.95 and 5.35 lol.</p>

<p>what grade does a 93 get you?</p>

3

<p>…With a scale?</p>

4

<p>86-100: A
73-86: B
c+
c
c-
0-49: F</p>

6

<p>What’s the grade if someone gets an 86?</p>

7

<p>We just use your average of all your classes to get the GPA. 92 is the 4.0 cut-off I believe.</p>

8

<p>Oh 86 is A
85 is B</p>

9

<p>A : 93-100
B: 85 - 92</p>

<p>My bad. Typo.</p>

<p>What I was really getting at was the use of proper interval notation.</p>

<p>[Interval</a> Notation](<a href=“http://www.regentsprep.org/Regents/math/ALGEBRA/AP1/IntervalNot.htm]Interval”>http://www.regentsprep.org/Regents/math/ALGEBRA/AP1/IntervalNot.htm)</p>

11

<p>100-90=a
89-80=b
79-70=c
69-60=d
59-50=f</p>

12

<p>^below 50%?</p>

13

<p>We don’t have weighted classes. Instead the scale for Honors classes is 2 lower than for regular classes (I.E. You can get an A with 2 fewer points than in a regular class)</p>

<p>This system is really stupid, it makes it so every year we have about 8 valedictorians since you can essentially take all the easiest classes, get a 4.0 and be on the same level as someone with all the most difficult with a 4.0 and those 2 extra points don’t really help at all most of the time.</p>

14

<p>in grams obviously.</p>

15

<p>grams measure mass, not weight.</p>

16

<p>What if you get 89.45?</p>

17

<p>That would be an A i believe.
Because the computer ups 89.45 as 89.5…</p>

18

<p>For my school, which weights grades the same way as blackhype’s, if a student gets an 89.45, the grade report will show 89.5 (B).</p>

<p>Dunno if it’s the same for his/her school</p>

19

<p>maybe people here should use proper interval notation for clarity. Thanks.</p>

<p>90-100 A
80-89 B
70-79 C
60-69 D
0-59 F
…in other words, lbs. jp.</p>

<p>That do it for you, TCBH? lol</p>
