    Re: Grades came in

    My grades are weighted quite a bit for full IB...my overall GPA will probably be around 5.3 or so

        DK's a freaking genius.

        And...it works, because Honors classes are on a 5.0 scale, so he gets extra credit for the AP/IB classes he has on his schedule, I'd assume.

          Honors/Advanced/whatever they call it is 5.0, IB is 6.0

          My regular level marketing class (just 4.0) brings it down, but I dont really care.

            6.0!

            Wow... that's some serious grade inflation. At my HS, AP classes as well as standard Honors classes were all on a 5.0 scale.

              At my high school,

              Honors is out of 4.5, so if u get a B, its 3.5: if u get an A, its 4.5....

              AP is out of 5.0, so if u get a B, its 4.0: if u get an A, its 5.0...

              I think that is how it should be because it wouldnt be too fair to give the same gpa for someone who got A's in all regular classes and for someone who got A's in all honors classes.

                  I took a lot of honors classes and almost a full year of college classes while I was in high school, and we used a 4.0 scale. The way they were weighted at our school was to bump up honors grades by 1.25% (something like that) and college classes 2%.. So if you were talking a concurrent enrollment college class and got an 88% (would typically go on your report card as 3.0), it would be weighted to give you a 90% (4.0).
