Hi everyone! I'm in the process of figuring out my GPA, and I'm really confused about what a B- translates to, GPA-wise. Can anyone give me some insights on this? Your help's much appreciated!
Hello! GPA can be calculated on a 4.0 scale or a weighted scale that may go up to 5.0 or higher, depending on how your high school calculates GPA. In a typical unweighted 4.0 scale, a B- generally corresponds to a 2.7 GPA. If your high school uses a plus and minus system, this is what it usually looks like:
- A: 4.0
- A-: 3.7
- B+: 3.3
- B: 3.0
- B-: 2.7
- C+: 2.3
- C: 2.0
- C-: 1.7
Of course, the best way to verify this is to ask your school guidance counselor or registrar's office the specific system used by your school, as this can vary from one institution to another.
