how is it possible to get above a 4.0? i keep seeing people saying they have like a 4.6 or something. at my school we go on a 100 point scale and you can't get above a 100. we'd have to get a perfect mark on everything to get a 100. do people with a 4.0+ have to get perfect scores along with like extra credit or something?
4.0 scale

Advanced placement classes. I don't know if it's at all schools, but AP classes are weighted for a semester.
Okay, I had AP World Civ all year. 1st semester I got an 88%. 2nd semester I got a 93%. The 2nd semester grade is weighted, which means I really got a 103%. Some people do incredibly well in AP classes, so go figure.
:p
Also, not all schools go by the 4.0 grade scale.[CENTER][CENTER]

^^Very true.
It's impossible to receive more than a 4.0 on an unweighted GPA, but when your talking about a weighted GPA, the harder the class, the more it's worth towards your GPA. Honors, AP, International Baccalaureate, etc. all contribute to a 4.0+ GPA. -
Yea, the classes are weighted. When I was in high school, regents classes were weighted %.03, honors were %.04, most APs were %.06 and BC Calc was %.08.
So potentially, the highest grade one could earn was a 108.
I've had a few 101s, a couple 102s and a 103. But the 103 was for the first semester, I barely passed the 2nd semester with a 67.... what a difference.
