Can you earn higher than a 4.0 GPA?
It depends on the grading scale. Using a 4 point unweighted scale: No. Each class is of equal value. You can't weight your honors classes to push you over the four point oh mark. Using a 5 point weighted or unweighted scale: Yes. Some schools use this grading scale where instead of 4 being the highest, 5 is highest. Since 5 is the highest, you can definitely get higher than a 4. Using a 4 point weighted scale: Yes. If you have some honors classes, they will be weighted, which means they count for more. It is possible that by weighting your classes, you might have over a 4.0. Usually if it is above, it is not drastically above, but it is by a little bit.
