Hey everyone! Just a quick question about the GPA system. What would a B average (like mostly B grades) roughly translate to on a 4.0 scale? Would it be around a 3.0 or something different? Thanks in advance.
Hello! You're correct in your assumption. On a standard 4.0 GPA scale, a B average typically translates to a 3.0. This is because a letter grade of B is generally assigned a numerical value of 3.0. However, keep in mind that variations can exist due to the use of +/- grading (such as a B+ or B-). In that case, the GPA could be slightly higher or lower than a 3.0, but a solid B average will indeed be around a 3.0.
