I've just completed a short quiz worth 5 marks and I scored a 4. I have a tendency to stress and I'm not sure where that puts me. What sort of letter grade would a 4 out of 5 translate to?
A 4 out of 5 equates to 80%, which generally translates to a B- or B grade depending on the grading scale of your school or institution. If your school works on a 10-point grading scale, an 80 would fall in the B- range. However, on a 7-point scale, an 80 would just make it to a B. However, do keep in mind that this is a very broad interpretation and actual grading can vary greatly depending upon the context of the assessment, your school, and even the specific class or professor. It's always best to check your syllabus or ask your instructor to understand your grade most accurately.
