[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't realize you could do courses P/F during the school year.  Why wouldn't someone just do all non-core courses on a P/F basis to improve their weighted GPA?[/quote]

Because you can only take a limited number, maybe 2 for the entire time.[/quote]

Apparently it's one per school year.  Based on this and if played well, they could take all language courses as P/F (except AP) and one of the elective summer courses (e.g. World History), that's 4 courses.  Each 4.0 course removed from your transcript (in an otherwise predominantly honors/AP transcript) adds 0.02 per course.

1. With parent/guardian approval, high school students are given the option of taking one elective credit per school year to be 
marked on a pass-fail basis.  This may be applied to required physical education credits, world language credits, economics and 
personal finance, to credits other than those required for English, social studies, mathematics, and laboratory science, and to 
specialized courses such as Principles of Engineering and Senior Technology Research taught at Thomas Jefferson High School 
for Science and Technology.

2. With parent/guardian approval, middle school students are given the option of taking one high school world language elective 
credit or one ESOL course that counts as a high school world language elective per school year on a pass-fail basis.[/quote]
