But I think giving a full point for AP/Honors classes is reasonably fair. I had a friend who took very low level classes his senior year, which gave him an easy 4.0. While I think it's great that he got a 4.0, I had friends who were taking schedules packed with AP and Honors classes who spent countless nights studying and doing tough homework, all trying to get the best grades they could. Some of them struggled to get a 4.2, yet the level of work they were doing was far above my friend's. @Deevan: That’s true, there is a lot of grade inflation — especially in college.

It take a bit getting used to the first semester of college. In high school, A vs. A- is not a big deal, but in college it matters. I think that a full point for AP/Honors classes is a bit much though. There is already grade inflation...C isn't the average, it is the low end. Grade distribution is like 30% A, 50% B, and 20% C/D/F. Cool – this is exactly how we did it. It take a bit getting used to the first semester of college.
