<p>we dont weight gpas…becuase my school is ■■■■■■■■.</p>
<p>A = 4
A- = 3.667
B+ = 3.333
B = 3
B- = 2.667
C+ = 2.333
C = 2
C- = 1.667
D+ = 1.334
D = 1
F= 0</p>
<p>(you can understand why i hate this system, there is no real incentive for taking harder classes, ie, honors or APs, which migh i add, nect year is 3 AP and 2 honors)</p>
<p>A 93-100
A- 90-92
B+ 87-90
B 83-87
B- 80-83
etc.</p>
<p>up through my 9th grade year it used to be:</p>
<p>A = 90-100
B = 80-89
C = 70-79
D = 60-69
F = 0-59</p>
<p>i loved that grading scale</p>
<p>Mine’s the opposite of Cavalier - switched from 7-point to 10-point scale after 10th for me. And they added A+, A, A-, etc. differences.</p>
<p>A+ 97-100
A 93-96
A- 90-92</p>
<p>Subtract 10 for B, 20 for C, no such thing as a D (below 70 is just failing).</p>
<p>AP Classes:
A+ 5.7
A 5.5
A- 5.3</p>
<p>“Seminar” (probably the equivalent of Honors at normal schools): 5.2, 5, 4.8 for A
“Honors” (basically regular classes): 4.7, 4.5, 4.3 for A
Everything else (electives, “basic” classes): 4.2, 4, 3.8 for A</p>
<p>Subtract 1 for B, 2 for C</p>
<p>A desperate attempt by the school district to inflate GPAs? Absolutely. I wonder when they’ll realize colleges can see right through it.</p>
<p>IB Scale (approximate)</p>
<p>7= A+ = 90-100
6= A- = 80-89
5= B = 70-79
4= C = 60-69</p>
<p>Anything below a 4- is considered failing. Higher IBs are weighted 1.1 but only in 11th and 12th grades. All other classes are not weighted.</p>
<p>A 100-89.5
B 89.4-79.5
C 79.4-69.5
D 69.4-59.5
E 59.4 and below</p>
<p>On a 4 point grading scale, (A=4, B=3, etc.) you add an extra point for AP and Honors classes.</p>
<p>Man, some schools make it so confusing.</p>
<p>90-100-A-4.0
80-89-B-3.0
70-79-C-2.0
60-69-D-1.0</p>
<p>For honors or AP an A is a 5, a B is a 4, and a C is a 3</p>
<p>Colleges always know what your grading scale is/how it works, as long as your school sends out a school profile with your transcripts.</p>
<p>I like our system best!</p>
<p>Wow, I HATE MY ■■■■■■■■ SCHOOL NOW…</p>
<p>A = 95-100% (4.00 GPA)
A- = 90-94% (3.67!!! GPA)
B+ = 86-89% (3.20 GPA)
(I don’t think I need to go lower hehe…)
And the weighting is BS to:</p>
<p>+.25 for Honors
+.50 for AP</p>
<p>Do colleges adjust GPAs to compensate for school retardedness? lol</p>
<p>^^^ if you are in one of the Fairfax county public school, you will be happy.</p>
<p>A(4.0)=94-100
B+(3.5)=90-93
B(3.0)=84-89
C+(2.5)=80-83
.

.</p>
<p>no bonus for Honors, .5 for AP</p>
<p>89.6-100% A (accounted for rounding up, but some teachers don’t do this)
79.6-89.5% B
69.6-79.5% C
59.6-69.5% D
59.5 or below - E</p>
<p>Weghting:
Honors - none
AP +1</p>
<p>Teachers occasionally change the grading scales so that an 80-93% is a B, etc. They can mess around with the scales if they want, either backwards or forwards, but most teachers don’t bother.
+/- are at the discretion of the teacher. They don’t mean anything.</p>
<p>This is why many (most?) colleges recalculate GPAs to some standard they understand (and they will all be going crazy soon…)</p>
<p>Oh, and another point: non-academic courses do count, but summer school does.</p>
<p>Do you guys know what a good (top 1%) GPA would be for you guys?</p>
<p>top 1% GPA around 5.12</p>
<p>93-94 A Worth 4 in Reg, 5 in Honors, 6 in AP
85-92 B Worth 3 in Reg, 4 in Honors, 5 in AP
dunno the rest</p>
<p>A= 90-100
B= 80-89
C= 70-79
D= 65-69
F= 65 and below</p>
<p>Extra GPA point for AP and certain honors.</p>
<p>I think that the Congress and the National Bureau of Standards should define how the GPA is to be calculated.</p>
<p>lol, we dont even have letter grades in my school. The grades are posted as a percentage out of 100 (for example i am getting a 92 in AP Lit). The gpa is then an average of those scores so it is out of 100 too. Plus we don’t even weight the grades. We are weird :(</p>
<p>A - 89.5+
B - 79.5+
C - 69.5+
D - 59.5+
E - anything below that!</p>
<p>My county adopted a policy last year (maybe it was 2 years ago?) that teachers HAD to round up grades that were 0.5% or higher.</p>
<p>A: 93-100;
B: 86-92
C: 78-85
D: 70-77
F: 0 - 69
+s are the highest number on the scale (A+ would be a 100), and -s are the lowest number on the scale (A- would be a 93)</p>
<p>Except for a certain AP Euro teacher who decides to use the 90-100 scale. He has no real right to do this, he just does.</p>
<p>"A(4.0)=94-100
B+(3.5)=90-93
B(3.0)=84-89
C+(2.5)=80-83

<p>I’m with IHateCR in Fairfax. It’s pretty tough, the toughest I’ve seen. Looks like the toughest on this thread, too, from what I can see. It’s the weakest weighting system I think in existence. Still obviously better than a complete unweighted system though.</p>
<p>A top 1% GPA in our school is about a 3.9+ because of various factors. We don’t weight much.</p>
<p>E=90-100 –> Averaged in as a 95
G=80-89–> Averaged in as 85
S=65-79 –> Averaged in as 70 or 75
N=<65 –> Averaged in as a 60 or 55…</p>
<p>AP classes are weighted though!</p>
