In my hist class, I just got back a grade and it's 9 out of 12. I'm kinda lost, 'cause I'm not sure what that translates to in terms of an A-F scale. Can anyone help me understand this better? Thanks!
Sure, happy to help! So, when you're trying to convert your grade to an A-F scale, what you can do is first calculate the percentage you have.
Divide the score you received by the total possible score. In your case, you got a 9 out of a possible 12. If we divide 9 by 12, we'll get approximately 0.75 (or 75% when converted to a percentage).
Most grading scales go something like this:
- A: 90%-100%
- B: 80%-89%
- C: 70%-79%
- D: 60%-69%
- F: Below 60%
So based on this scale, your score of 75% would traditionally be around a C. But remember, this can vary a bit based on your teacher's specific grading scale. It's always a good idea to check with your teacher or your syllabus to be sure!
