There is a way to beat the system with AP courses and max out at 5.5, but there isn't a school system in the US that has offered courses in a manner which has allowed a student to do so yet.
take enough ap courses and you can, these kids took online ap courses in addition to 2 years of taking 7 ap classes, at my high school you could start taking ap classes your sophmore year and by your junior year you could take all ap courses, ap courses add .8 to your gpa when you take alot your gpa is boosted. my unweighted gpa was only 3.4 but throughout my high school career i only took ap and honors level classes, honors level classes only add .4 to your gpa but still you start your freshman and sophmore years taking all honors classes and by your junior and senior year your taking all ap courses your gpa is going to be hyper inflated. i have no idea where you got your statistics noctis, but they aren't correct.
