Hey y'all, I've been maintaining mostly B grades this year, and I'm curious about how this reflects on my GPA. What would be the numerical equivalent if someone gets all B's in their classes?
When using the standard 4 point grading scale, a letter grade of B is typically equivalent to a 3.0 GPA. If all your grades are B's, your grade point average (GPA) would be 3.0.
Do keep in mind that some schools incorporate a weighted GPA system, where A's, B's, etc. in AP or honors classes might have a value over 4.0 (often 5.0 for an A at many schools). At those schools, a B in an AP or honors class might be worth more than a 3.0, typically around a 4.0. For a more accurate calculation, you should check your school's specific grading scale.
