Is a 4.0 all A's or A+?

A 4.0 GPA generally means straight As, but it can include A+ grades if your school uses them, as both typically convert to the maximum 4.0 grade points on an unweighted scale, although some schools give A+ a slightly higher value (like 4.33). On a standard 4.0 scale, an A is 4.0 points, an A- is 3.7, a B+ is 3.3, and so on, so a perfect 4.0 requires all As or A+s, with no A- or lower grades.
