Hey, I have a hypothetical question. If a student were to receive C's in all their classes, what would their GPA be? I know A's are usually a 4.0, but I'm unsure about the scale for C's.
If a student were to receive C's in all their classes, their GPA would be a 2.0 on the standard unweighted 4.0 scale. The general breakdown for this scale is as follows:
- A: 4.0
- B: 3.0
- C: 2.0
- D: 1.0
- F: 0.0
Keep in mind that this is for an unweighted GPA. If the student's school uses a weighted scale, such as a 5.0 scale for honors and AP classes, the GPA calculation might be slightly different. However, for the unweighted 4.0 scale, a student with all C's would have a GPA of 2.0.
