Hey guys, quick question: what is the usual letter grade associated with a 4.0 GPA? I'm not familiar with the conversion and would appreciate the help!
Hey there! A 4.0 GPA typically corresponds to an "A" letter grade in most high schools. Keep in mind, the grading scale may differ slightly depending on the school or country you're in. However, in the United States, the most common GPA scale used is based on a 4.0 system, where an A equals 4.0, a B equals 3.0, a C equals 2.0, a D equals 1.0, and an F equals 0.0.
Of course, some schools use a weighted GPA system, where honors, AP, or IB courses have additional GPA points allotted. However, for unweighted GPA, simply having straight A's would give you a perfect 4.0.
I hope this clears up your confusion!
