GPA for all As?

So I have this doubt… If a student gets all A's, what would that score be in terms of GPA? Thanks in advance.

In most cases, if a student earns all A's in their courses, their unweighted GPA would be a 4.0. This is because an unweighted GPA scale generally ranges from 0 to 4.0, with an A (whether it's a 90% or a 99%) typically equating to a 4.0. However, this can look different if the student takes weighted courses, such as honors or AP classes.

In the case of weighted courses, an A typically equates to a 5.0. These courses are considered more challenging, so they carry more weight when calculating the GPA. This means if a student receives all A's in both regular and weighted courses, their GPA could potentially be higher than a 4.0, depending on their school's specific policies for calculating weighted GPAs.

But remember, the grading scales and systems for calculating GPA can vary by school district and even by individual schools, so it's essential to check with a counselor or the school's academic handbook to get the most accurate information. The concept explained here is just a general rule and might not apply universally. Still, in the broadest terms, getting all A's typically earns a student a perfect or near-perfect GPA.
