Grade Point Averages and other academic accomplishments

[darkphantomime]

With the end of the school year fast approaching, I'd like to start a topic about academic accomplishments, if you will...

My GPA is 4.571...

[Zelda Veteran]

eh... here are my grades. :-*

Math: 76  
Biology: 79  
P.E.: 100            
Spanish: 54    
English: 98
Art: 77        
World Geography: 79

I think I either have a 4.0 or very close at the moment....I may have a B+ in Computers instead of an A since I haven't turned in every assignment...she has a really screwed up way of doing it, she gives a bunch of assignments at one time and immediately counts them so you pretty much start off with an F, then you work on those until a due date, then you get another batch. So at quarter we had just gotten the first batch and like everyone got a D and got in trouble with their parents...

Grade: 7
Level: 4 (Our grade level are in four groups, 1 - 4. The higher the number is, the smarter the group is)

Major Classes:
Math - B
Reading - A
History/SS - 100%
Science - Either A or B. (Test I took today might decide which)

Classes for this Nine Weeks:
Public Speaking - B
Analyzing Technology - A

Average - Somewhere in the threes.

These may not seem like much but...

AP Calculus - 88 (REALLY hard, Just ask HNS)
AP English - 94 (Lots of work in there, we've probably written at least 70 essays this year in there)
Art IV - 97 (Did like 3 paintings this past grading period)
Spanish II - 95

No, they seem real high considering your grade level and the idfficulty of those subjects.

And, dude, AP is killer >:(
I don't ever want to take an AP class

[Baka Nezumi]

Grade: 7th
Science- 97%
Algebra (advanced math, it's not counted in our GPA)- 95%
Technology- 100%
Language Arts- Percentage unkown, but I have an A
Social Studies- 100.2%
Woodshop- Percentage unkown, but I have an A
Overall GPA- 4.0 (excluding advanced math)

[Mysterious F.]

Wait, 'math' is labeled Pre-Algebra for my group.

[darkphantomime]

It all depends on what state you live in.

Where I come from, it works like this... in an unweighted GPA, this is how it would be calculated.

Anything 96 or above counts as 4.00
95 - 3.88
94  - 3.75
93 - 3.63
92 - 3.5
91 - 3.37/8
90 - 3.25

And so on, deducting .125 of a point with each consecutive lower grade.

This may not apply to a lot of states out there... but a weighted GPA...

If the class is honors, add 1.00 to the Grade point as listed above.

If the class is AP, add 2.00 to the Grade Point.

There are two types of GPA's. First is unweighted GPA, which is the raw average without any Honors/AP bonuses. Can go up only as high as 4.00.  It is a measure of basically what your raw average grades have been in ALL classes, as if they were equal. Mine is about 3.97 something I think, but it'll probably dip to 3.93 when I graduate...

Weighted GPA's, includes Honors and AP bonuses in calculation...

It only really takes meaning when you get to high school. What you have in middle school is basically a mock GPA, and pretty much has little impact on your future. But when you get to high school... It'll be VERY important when you apply to colleges and scholarships.

My grades are a little meh when compared to some of my friends. Even though they be in AP, they get grades as high as 96-98. But Calculus has proven really troublesome for me...

But at least I'm better than about half the class, so I'm about in the middle on that one...

all a's  :]

I'm not that good at school anymore, I guess... xD; I should be making straight A's, but...

Computer Science Pre-AP : 98
German I : 90
English I Pre-AP : 93
Geometry Pre-AP : 78 (Yuck, and the teacher said he expects more out of me. ;w; I know it all, he's just weird and it has to be done his way.(which is long and pointless, in my humble opinion))
Biology Pre-AP : 100
World Geography Pre-AP : 87
Art I : 100

That's what I got on my report card this last six weeks. I expect my English grade to drop dramatically with the return of my spiteful pregnant teacher. (who shall no longer be pregnant, for better or for worse)

I'm in Pre-AP classes, as long as my score is not failing, I get the same weight as an AP GPA, so... yeah. xD I'm starting to turn into a bad student, I think, my parents are really disappointed in my high school grades so far. /: (They told me to stop reading, which is hilarious, I thought that's how people got smart?)

5.0 In fact, I've never gotten lower than an A- on a report card before. And next year I'm going to a genius high school.

I tried applying to a genius high school when i was in tenth grade, The North Carolina School of Science and Math. I had a GPA of about 4.375 and an SAT score of 1300... I didn't get in and I pretty much fell apart, had a couple of nervous breakdowns...

Did I mention my best friend who had a score of 1390 got in? I haven't seen him for nearly two years... bah...

[Zelda Veteran]

Man, I just realized how much I suck :-* :-*
