It is. It is the grades you receive in all your classes on a scale of 1 to 4 (1 being a F and 4 being an A) added up and divided by the total number of classes.

yeap ^^

however you can get above a 4.0 (the accepted TOP grade)
when your average is above ~95-96.

for example. my friend recieves constant 85s. his GPA is in the 3.5 range. and i recieve consistent 98-100's so mine is ~4.3
but there are several students in my school who have GPA's of ~5.0 with all of their AP courses.

To make it simple, it's all the grades you get in all of your classes combined and divided. It is based on a scale of numbers, 4 being an A, and 1 being a D, you get no credit for an F, unlike what nycboy9114 had mentioned.

Not all schools grade where you can get more than a 4.0. At my high school it didn't matter if you took all AP classes or all intro classes--the highest you can get is a 4.0.

I recently received my final grades for the previous semester. The usual controversy is as usual. I managed to pass all of my classes with the minimal “D” requirements, and scored perfection on all of my finals. Honestly, I do so in spite of the education system. They set up a grading scale with the intention of differentiating those of higher and lower intelligence while denying so many other factors. It also kind of pisses other parents off. We have a series of test at the end of the year in given fields, and medals/ money is awarded to those who have ranked within the top percentile. Naturally the hype is directed towards the Valid Victorian contenders and I almost feel bad for having to deny them what they feel they deserve. I remember last year I dressed in really rugged, and I got all of these bad looks.. lol.. Some parents even complained that the tallies be recounted, and thought I had some how rigged the whole ordeal.

Moral- people have habit to correlate performance to actual ability.. Underestimation may lead to embarrassment..

But, it does seem as though I am rambling. Goodbye for now..

maybe we would all get it a little easier if we posted our averages out of 100. There are some differences in how people convert to GPA.

My cumulative average last year was 99.

Weighted:  4.5
Unweighted:  3.01

Scale is very weird due to many levels of classes. (C-Level, Basic, general, Advanced, Honors, AP)

At my school, the highest GPA is 4.0. Here is an example of how it would work, based on my grades.

Class 1 - 95 A
Class 2 - 90 A
Class 3 - 88 A
Class 4 - 100 A
Class 5 - 98 A
Class 6 - 116 A
Class 7 - 91 A

(If your wondering about the 116 grade, it's in band. I have placed in several regional bands, and earned a lot of bonus points)

4+4+4+4+4+4+4 = 28. Total of 7 classes, so:

28/7 = 4. My GPA is 4.0
