Do APclasses raise your unweighted GPA?

Question

Do they raise your unweighted GPA more than normal classes or honors classes? Or do they just count for more weighted?

Answer 1

It's should have the same effect as honors classes...So it doesn't raise your unweighted GPA(unless you get an A which almost always raises your GPA unless you've literally been getting straight A's and in that case it maintains your GPA)

With weighted GPA, we've used to have the +1 for honors and AP.

Answer 2

AP classes don't change your unweighted GPA. That's why it's called your unweighted GPA. It doesn't count the extra boost that colleges give for AP classes.

Answer 3

Well, my prior experience in AP classes has involved a GPA boost of x1.1.

Honors classes meant nothing except that you will have generally intelligent people in your class, making the learning experience more enjoyable.
