[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell! And to the posters questioning science and math— how can you deflate? I’ll tell you—- essay answers on both that are graded on random specificities. Not just right or wrong, but how you present the answer. [b]No AP’s, no A+’s, no bump for honors or accelerated classes. [/b] [/quote] How are any of these deflation? And what school gives A+’s? Ours doesn’t. [/quote] STA gives A+’s but it doesn’t really matter because there’s no difference in calculating GPAs. A 98 is an A+ and a 93 is an A but when translated to the 4.0 scale the grades are equivalently recorded as 4.0. What does help is that STA also reports the student’s numerical semester grades. A student with a 98 average stands out compared to a student with a 93 average even if they have an identical 4.0 GPA. [/quote]
