Hi everyone! I'm a bit confused on American grading scales. Can anyone explain what a 60 translates into a letter grade? Thanks heaps in advance!
Sure, I can break that down for you. In the United States, a standard grading scale often goes from A to F. Also, keep in mind that there might be a plus or minus attached to letter grades, depending on the system. Here's the breakdown:
- A: 90-100%
- B: 80-89%
- C: 70-79%
- D: 60-69%
- F: Below 60%
So a score of 60% falls within the 'D' range in many schools. However, it's important to bear in mind that these distinctions can vary by state or even by school district, so it's always best to check with your specific school to understand their grade distribution.
