um.....ok. last year our valedictorian had a 6.5........yea, its possible. Acutally, many kids at my school have over a 5.0

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif I still dont belive it, seeing how the highest Grade point u could get for a class would be 5.0 for an AP class.

na, I think the highest you can get is a 6.6 iirc......

its different down here in the south......AP classes ad .08 to your gpa for each semester you pass....and honors add .04 for every semester you pass....

Weighted GPA
Some high schools, to reflect the varying skill required for different level courses and to discourage students from selecting "easy A's", will give higher numerical grades for difficult courses, often referred to as a weighted GPA. For example, two common conversion systems used in honors and advanced placement courses are:

* A = 5 or 4.6

* B = 4 or 3.5

* C = 3 or 2.1

* D = 1

* F = 0

Another policy commonly used by 4.0-scale schools is to mimic the eleven-point weighted scale (see below) by adding a .33 (one third of a letter grade) to an honors or advanced placement class. (For example, a B in a regular class would be a 3.0, but in an honors or AP class it would become a B+, or 3.33).

Sometimes the 5-based weighting scale is used for AP courses and the 4.6-based scale for honors courses, but often a school will choose one system and apply it universally to all advanced courses. A small number of high schools use a 5 point scale for Honors courses, a 6 point scale for AP courses, and/or a 3 point scale for courses of below average difficulty.

I guess it depends on ur high school, but it still says the highest would be a 6.0

Edit: I guess thats the way ur HS has it set up.

One of the great things about college is, once you're in, nobody gives a **** where you came from, what your GPA in high school was, or how much you managed to bullshit the ACT or SAT board.

You didn't take the SATs/ACTs last year? If this is the spring semester of your senior year, it would have been too late anyway...unless you were planning to take a year off.

ya, but at my school, you get .08 added for every course you pass.......ever year the valedictorian and salutitorian have had above a 6.0........Just takes way too much work, and they usually have no life. Like I mean they actually compete for this shit lawl

What bigsherm is talking about is a GPR....your GPR can be higher than a 4.0...but if it is strictly GPA then a 4.0 is perfect all the way through

Yes, correct....sorry for not being clear. Yes, the perfect unweighted GPA is a 4.0
