globally, the standard for gpa numbers is based out of 4. although it changes from country to country, 0-4 is the norm...

ummm....

Classical five-point discrete evaluation with grades is the system most commonly used in the United States, but there are many variations. There are also a few schools that eschew discrete evaluation (letter grading) in favor of pure discursive evaluation. There is no standardized system of grading in the United States, as these issues are left up to individual universities, schools, and states.

Grades in the United States are generally assigned by a letter: A (highest grade, excellent), B (above average), C (average), D (usually the minimum passing grade), and F (fail). Additionally, most schools will calculate a student's grade point average (GPA) by assigning each letter grade a number and using a mathematical formula to come up with a numerical representation of a student's work. Generally, American schools equate an A with a numerical value of 4.0.

The percentage needed in any given coursework to achieve a certain grade and the assignment of GPA point values varies from one school to another. The most common grading scales for normal courses and honors/advanced placement courses are as follows:

For Normal CoursesGradePercentageGPA valueA90-1003.5-4.0B80-892.5-3.49C70-791.5-2.49D60-691.0-1.49F0-590.0For Honors/AP CoursesGradePercentageGPA valueA90-1004.5-5.0B80-893.5-4.49C70-792.5-3.49D65-692.0-2.5F0-640.0-1.99

That sucks, 88 is pretty good in my book. Definitely not bad or worthy of punishment.

wow that is still a good average but it's your fault not the school's for getting the grades. But on another note my school does blow the chode i have some learning and behavioral problems and after getting in trouble for them too much they said they would try to help me but instead i have a meeting tomorrow to see if I should stay in the school (probs not going to happen) even though the teachers have said i have really improved./ rant

Wish my school would do any of that! At my school most A's are 93% then you get A-'s.  And our AP classes are still only out of 4.0

sorry to hear that mang. my school is pretty cool because you can get a B and it counts as an A in honors..honors class grades are multiplied by 1.1 so you get a pretty good boost off every one, so that helps the overall GPA a lot.

there are kids in south america who are dying right now because they have no food,water,shelter,etc. and you're complaining about how you are fortunate enough to be able to go to school, but didn't study, so now you can't spend $2,000 of your parents money on ski camp, so you are now complaining about it to the internet.  be a little bit more mature.

I know I'm gonna sound like an asshole, but I hate when people refer to poverty stricken countries when someone is mad that they didn't get to do something. Live your life to the fullest. If you want to help countries like that, then help them. Don't critisize people for trying to live their life though with their families money.

Just saying. Haters will hate.

i fucking hate american culture. Why do we set standards for grade. I have this philosphy with everything i do in life and it is to "confute the central argument". If your parents pushed you to learn and showed you the benefits of learning(the central argument or idea), then naturally the rest will follow (grades, minor argument or idea).

We makes shit to complicated in this world. Somebody send me to a time where the Sumerians were around and your job was to find food to eat that night
