For example &#8211; students get an extra 1.0 added to the unweighted GPA value of their grades for high level classes like honors or AP.\u00a0So, on a weighted scale A B in an honors class would be equivalent to a 4.0 on a weighted GPA scale, and an A would be equivalent to a 5.0.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22937\" style=\"text-align: start;\" src=\"https:\/\/gpacalculator.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/gpa-scale.png\" alt=\"GPA Scale\" width=\"705\" height=\"95\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gpacalculator.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/gpa-scale.png 705w, https:\/\/gpacalculator.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/gpa-scale-300x40.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 705px) 100vw, 705px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Also, some schools also offer mid-high level courses that sits between honors and low-level classes. 0.5 points are usually added to the unweighted GPA for those courses, meaning an A would be equivalent to a 4.5.\u00a0Grades in low-level classes are measured using the unweighted standard scale, so an A in those classes would be equivalent to a 4.0.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>GPA Scale &#8211; FAQs<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #13afdf;\"><strong>How does the GPA scale work?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;There are two types of GPA scales (weighted and unweighted), and they work differently.
