Understanding Grade Scores: Is a score of 70 satisfactory?

Hey there! I just got my geometry test back and scored a 70. Can anyone tell me what this translates to in terms of a letter grade? I am not familiar with how this scoring system works and it's giving me anxiety.

In most American high schools, a score of 70 typically corresponds to a grade of "C-" or slightly below average. However, keep in mind that grading scales can vary by school and even by individual teachers within a school.

It's always a good idea to confirm with your teacher or look at your course syllabus to see the exact grading scale used in your class. If improving your grade in geometry is a primary concern for you, consider seeking additional help - such as tutoring, or extra study sessions - which might aid in boosting your understanding and, subsequently, your score. In addition, attempting to clarify any concepts you found challenging on this test with your teacher directly could be very beneficial for future tests.
