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 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.
