How does a B translate to a 4.0 GPA scale?

If I get a B in one of my classes, how does that translate to a 4.0 scale? Is there a specific value assigned to it?

a year ago

A B grade typically translates to a 3.0 on a 4.0 GPA scale. However, some schools use a more nuanced system to assign specific values based on the exact letter grade you have received, such as:

- B+: 3.3

- B: 3.0

- B-: 2.7

Keep in mind that this conversion may vary slightly between schools, so it's a good idea to check with your specific school for their conversion policies.
