I live in Canada and we don't have 4.0's or whatever they are...we have marks in percents, and our overall average is calculated by adding all of our marks togather and dividing them....so I had 92, 92, 93, 94, with an average of 92.8....
what do you guys do to find your marks in the USA...I don't understand your system and I'm just curious...what does 4.0 mean?

Ooo, those are generous...
I have AP and IB classes at my high school (Texas). They're 5.0. Honors, Pre-AP, and Pre-IB are all 4.5, and all regular classes and most electives are 4.0. So, we have three scales because the different levels of classes have different maxs. Getting the max is HARD: 4.0/4.5/5.0: 97-100 (A+) 3.8/4.3/4.8: 93-96 (A) 3.6/4.1/4.6: 90-92 (A-) 3.4/3.9/4.4: 87-89 (B+) 3.2/3.7/4.2: 83-86 (B) 3.0/3.5/4.0: 80-82 (B-) and so on...continues that pattern. I'm taking mostly 4.5 classes since I'm a sophomore...next year, I'll be taking all 5.0 courses. I dunno how they compare people taking 5.0 classes with people taking 4.0....*shrug* |
