[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible to have a 5.0 now? How can this be? Aren't regular A's 4.0? The weighted A's would have to 6s or something to bring the average up to a 5.0. Or, pp, are you just blowing smoke?[/quote] It's possible - factor in AP classes, etc. This is what I mean about real not being real anymore. I think it's as insane as you do.[/quote] It is NOT possible in FCPS. Students get .5 for Honors and 1.0 for AP bumps. Not counting TJ (where everything is bumped up), the GPA tops out around 4.5. You would have to take ALL APs to get a 5.0 and that is not possible when PE is required and math (Algebra through Precalc) before Calculus is honrs and counts towards HS GPA whenever the student takes it. [/quote] +1 Great TEDTalk describing the GPA calculation with weighted courses. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZVxA0J5g28[/youtube][/quote]
