What is the difference between Weighted and Unweighted GPA?
Unweighted GPA is calculated on a 4.0 scale regardless of course difficulty. Weighted GPA adds bonus points for advanced courses like AP and Honors, typically using a 5.0 or 4.5 scale.
How does the AP scale of 5.0 work?
In the 5.0 scale, an 'A' in an AP course is weighted as 5.0 points, a 'B' as 4.0 points, and so on. This is compared to a regular 4.0 scale where an 'A' is 4.0 points.
