I've also never heard of a GPA going over 4.0... that must get really confusing in transfers..
Basically, an AB is a grade that covers both an A- and a B+. The scale varies from class to class but usually it's something like this:

A 93-100
AB 88-92
B 83-87
BC 78-82
C 70-77
D 60-69
F 0-59

I've never heard of any school other than Wisconsin that uses this system.

GPA-wise it breaks down pretty much like you'd expect:

A 4.0
AB 3.5
B 3.0
BC 2.5
C 2.0

etc.
