What is your schools GPA scale?

I have no idea; I don't know much about how the whole GPA thing works.

That looks like a 100-point scale (my HS did it the same way). It's literally just averaging grades, with some weighting -- maybe 1.1x -- for certain classes. Though GPA in high schools is always screwy, since there are so many ways of doing it, so it's hard to actually compare them meaningfully.

I know we get seven points added for some classes as a weight, but I'm not entirely sure which ones (regardless my unweighted science grades were mostly 95's with one 98, so I'm not sure exactly how it works).

And I thought my school was weird with regard to grades...

I skipped junior year today- it was surprisingly easy. All of a sudden I feel super relatable to the stuff Samlan said last year.

That sounds even more confusing than ours! I'm pretty sure we have a 4 point scale, but APs are 5. I might be wrong though, the whole GPA thing confuses me as well.

There's not really a point to skipping grades at my high school, so I didn't realize that was a thing until you said that! Haha! What's that process like?
There are only a few classes at my school that are limited to certain grades (really just the AP pairs, but there are a few electives as well), so you can take the "senior level" math as a freshman if you so desire (and have the pre-reqs).

Crash Course is making a Human Geography course the year after I take it. WHY DIDN'T I HAVE THIS LAST YEAR!!!

Aww! That sucks. I didn't even realize that schools offered an AP about games until they made the course. It looks interesting, I might watch it for fun at some point when I have time.

There is no AP games, they just wanted to make an informative course. They also have one on intellectual property, and I think some other topics that are not related to AP.
