Grading Scale Conversion: How do I convert raw scores to letter grades?

Hey guys, I'm a bit confused about converting raw scores (like 12/16 or 4/5) and percentages into letter grades. Are there any resources or charts you can share that would help me understand the conversion better? Thanks in advance!

Hello! The process of converting raw scores or percentages to letter grades can vary widely depending on your school or institution, as they might have their own specific grading scale. However, I can give you a general guideline commonly used across many schools in the United States.

Here is a basic conversion chart from percentages to letter grades:

- A+: 97-100%

- A: 93-96%

- A-: 90-92%

- B+: 87-89%

- B: 83-86%

- B-: 80-82%

- C+: 77-79%

- C: 73-76%

- C-: 70-72%

- D+: 67-69%

- D: 63-66%

- D-: 60-62%

- F: Below 60%

To convert a raw score (e.g., 12/16) to a percentage, first divide the number of points earned by the total possible points:

Percentage = (Points Earned / Total Possible Points) x 100

For example, 12/16 would be:

Percentage = (12 / 16) x 100 = 75%

Then, you can use the conversion chart above to find the corresponding letter grade (which would be a C in this case).

Please keep in mind that this is a general guideline and might not be the same as your school or institution's grading scale. It's always a good idea to check with your teacher or educational institution for their specific grading policies!
