Graduated from high school one semester early with a 4.3 GPA.



I thought it topped out at 4.0. How do you get a 4.3

AP or IB credit usually allows for a weighted GPA higher than 4.0

If she went to a school in California, an A on an Advanced Placement test is worth 5 grade points. I got an A in AP English and got only 4 grade points for it, because I didn't take the AP test.

AP classes have additional weighting which can inflate your gpa.

She went to Winter Park High School with me. She was not in the IB program, but she probably completed AP classes for a weighted GPA of 4.3.

how do you graduate one semester early from highschool though......

reply

By taking and passing the maximum amount of classes that you can take per semester. At my school, all freshmen need 26 credits to graduate. The most you can take is 8 credits per year. So by taking and passing 8 credits per year and taking and passing 2 summer classes, you can graduate in 3 years.
