Our classes are only 50 minutes and that's bad enough.

That explains the difference in schedule...and you're probably going to have to sit through classes longer than 80 minutes if you're going to University...yep

Spanish II=B-
English 3=B

The highest you can have is a 4.0, unless your taking AP (Advanced Placement) classes, in which each grade is worth one more point than a normal grade of that letter.

For example, my GPA is 4.25, because Im taking an AP class, and I have an A in it, but how do you have a 12?????

GPA scales are different everywhere.

At the college I'm going to right now, the GPA scale is out of 4.0. Last year it was out of 9.0. Other places will be different, it just depends on the school.

World History - 73 (D+)
Algebra 2 - 82 (B)
English - 80 (B)
Biology - 80 (B)
Health - 93 (A)

I'm rather disappointed with my grades right. My GPA is only a 3.27 . But... I just stopped caring.

My school was forced to go to a 12 points grading system because the competition for valid victorian was so tight. This is how it works out:

12 = A+
11 = A
10 = A-
9 = B+
8 = B
7 = B-
etc.

It's harder than a 4.0 GPA scale... the ranges are something like:

A+ = 100-98
A = 97-95
A- = 94-93
B+ = 92-91

It also sucks because Honors classes are graded the same way as normal classes are...

EDIT: on my scale Jason wouldn't have a 12, I suppose on his he does though.

Yeah, my scale is the same way, only we don't have minus grades A+ is a 97-100 A is a 93-96, B+ 89-92, etc. Anything below a 70 is failing but the GPA weight is messy too. If you get an A in a College Prep class, it's worth 4. An A an Honors class is worth 4.5 and in an AP class it's worth 5 (In a PX/GS class it's worth 3.5)

But anyhoo.

Sociology - 96
H German - 99 (actually, I think it's like 103, but the printout only goes to 99, I don't know why they don't just put 03)
H Government 87
AP English 92

<-------------Nerd alert!

99.5%-- Stage Band 12 (Jazz Band 12)
98%-- Concert Band 12
96%-- English 12
93%-- French 12
88%-- Principles of Math 12

Next semester, I'm taking...
Stage Band 12
Concert Band 12
Geography 12
Computer Science 12
Information Technology 12
Geology 12

That adds up to.. 9 courses.

My friend in French 12 is getting 100.3% in the course. :P Ah, bonus marks.. the sweetest thing..

[Mushlafa]

uhm... my marks go something like this

accounting - 25%
English- 34%
Math - 1%
and chemistry - 31%

which adds up to a whopping 22.8% average....

[Jason1]

Okay here's how my gade scale works to the best of my knowledge...

I think the highest possible GPA you could get is like 17 or 18. Thats if you have 7 courses, all honors classes, getting perfect 100's in all of them. My GPA of 12 is good, definatley in the upper half of my class, but since im in no honors classes, its really not as good as it might sound...or something...

Our grading system is like that.

A+ = 99-100
A = 94-98
A- = 92=93
B+ = 90-91
B = 85-89
B- = 83-84

and so on..

[The Germanator]

My school was very hard in some ways, but maybe sort of easy grading wise in terms of the point scale...Basically you could get a 50 on a mid-term and not have to retake it, you would still techincally pass as long as your average was 50 or above.

50-59 F
60-62 D-
63-67 D
68-69 D+
70-72 C-
73-77 C
78-79 C+
80-82 B-
83-87 B
88-89 B+
90-92 A-
93-96 A
98-100 A+

That's how they did it in high school, it made enough sense to me, though they never really gave us letter grades on our report cards so they may have not even taken that into account. I got like 3.85 GPA last year, and myabe a cumulative of 3.5 over my 4 years of high school.
