How did my friend get a 125% in the class?

Question

I can't think of how she got a 125% in the class. and no that's not a typing error. She really got that grade. She even said that her teacher barely gives the class extra credit. What gives? She even get 100% on the only test they had so far. ((It's a Child Development class))

Answer 1

Is the class an excellerated class or advanced placement class? Because those classes are considered harder they are given extra weight of 25 percent so in stead of 100 she would have 125 if she got As on all work. Her GPA would not be 4.00 it would be 4.25 for the class.

Answer 2

I suppose their was a curve grade here and there. Also, if she did do extra credit that would also boost the grade. In high school I recieved a 113% grade in Electronic Communications for the semester. I had recieved a 127% on a major test which had a bonus question and a curve. With 100% on most assignments it was easy.

Hope that helps!
