Can someone explain to me how the US GPA system works? I didn't realise you could get a negative GPA.
Oh, not a negative sign (perhaps I should put my glasses on) but still exactly how does it work. I thought I had it then I read of someone having a GPA of 5?
In some high schools, Advanced Placement and/or honors courses get an extra point in GPA calculations, so that A = 5, B = 4 etc. The rationale for this is that the grading standards in such courses may be tougher, so that a B may represent the same quality of work as an A in a non-honors course.
