High School GPA information
https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/media/cms/Calculating_GPA_281C517A0CA30.pdf
CAP specifically asks for an unweighted GPA, based on a 4.0 scale. Some high schools will award extra credit for honors/AP courses, which should not be included in an unweighted score. An unweighted GPA will not exceed 4.00 on a 4.00 scale.
The standard points given for a grade in a 4.0 GPA system is:
A=4 B=3 C =2 D=1 F=0
Other schools may give different points for grades with a “+” or “-“. One example of this is:
A = 4.00 grade points A- = 3.67 grade points B+ = 3.33 grade points B = 3.00 grade points B- = 2.67 grade points C+ = 2.33 grade points C = 2.00 grade points C- = 1.67 grade points D+ = 1.33 grade points D = 1.00 grade points D- = 0.67 grade points
Either way is acceptable for CAP.
