At my HS in Cobb, AP classes bumped you a full number (i.e. a B in an AP class was a 4.0). Makes the numbers really weird among the people taking large numbers of AP classes, to the point that the old 0-4 GPA system is obsolete.AP classes can apparently bump you over 4.0. My high school was just adding AP my last couple of years (graduated in ‘88), but I don’t think we did 4.0+. But the valedictorian transferred in from a dinky Christian school with like a 4.2 somehow.

My hunch is that the schools get money/get evaluated based on their AP participation numbers and juice it up in as many ways as possible to get kids to take the classes.
