[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I would love to see a 100 point scale, and a push towards greater consistency nationwide. I admit our private school gives a lot of credit in taking AP exams even for the unweighted GPA- I.e a B grade preAP gets up to an A if you get a 5 on the exam. But an A stays an A. So a college really has no way of differentiating our top students. [/quote] My kids school does the same. College admissions reps from holistic admission schools know the high school in their regions and ask for ours to report grades with the AP exam factored in the GPA and without. That’s the check in all of this. Reps who know the high schools curriculums can distinguish between the students who challenged themselves and those who didn’t. [/quote]
