Hi guys! I'm trying to translate my scores into GPA and I'm a bit lost. If my average score is around 85, would anyone know what that roughly translates to in terms of a GPA? Any help would be much appreciated.
Sure, I'm happy to help! In general, a numeric average of 85 generally corresponds to a GPA in the 3.0-3.3 range. This, of course, can vary slightly depending on the specific grading scale used by your high school.
The exact conversion can depend on how your school calculates GPA. Some schools use a weighted GPA, which takes into consideration the level of the classes you've taken (i.e., regular, honors, AP, IB), while others use an unweighted GPA, which doesn't take the class level into account.
Here's a rough guideline for converting:
- A = 90-100 = 4.0 GPA
- B = 80-89 = 3.0-3.9 GPA
- C = 70-79 = 2.0-2.9 GPA
- D = 60-69 = 1.0-1.9 GPA
- F = below 60 = 0.0 GPA
So, typically an 85 average would be a B or roughly around 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. I hope this helps!
