<p>What does it mean: “Are classes taken on a block schedule?”
And what is weighted and what is unweighted GPA?
Thanks</p>
<p>Check the <em>block schedule</em> online… Eg - <a href=“http://www.dictionary.com%5B/url%5D”>www.dictionary.com</a> It explains it better. </p>
<p>Unweighted GPA is Your <em>real</em> GPA without any APs (Advanced Placement classes). Many schools outside the US do not offer these AP classes.</p>
<p>Weighted GPA includes those APs and this score is usually above your total GPA… </p>
<p>For example, if the total GPA in your high school is 4.0, then Your unweighted GPA can never exceed 4.0 Eg - 3.8/4.0 but your weighted GPA coulbe 4.5…etc</p>
<p>If you need more help, ask your Guidance counselor. She would know more on it. NOTE: most schools outside the US do not use the Weighted System. So if you do not use it, dont worry about it.</p>
<p>(just curious, what country are you from…? your sign in name seems Nigerian…am I right?)</p>
<p>So foreign GPA is both weighted and unweighted at once…I will put my GPA as X.XX in a 10.00 scale, will that work? I don’t have to convert it to a 4.0 scale?
Obi seems to be from Bosnia.</p>
<p>Nope, you don’t have to convert it to a 4.0 scale.
I reported my grades on a 15.0 scale.</p>
<p>Yes, I’m from Bosnia. Not sure that “Obi” looks Nigerian. It’s from Star Wars.</p>
<p>hah - Obi Wan!! lol. I love Star Wars!! Obi does seem Nigerian though…Nigerian names are full of O’s! :p</p>
