I aced my recent test and got a 33/35. I'm trying to figure out what that would translate to in terms of a GPA. Anyone got any idea or conversion tool to share?
A 33 out of 35 translates to approximately a 94.29% (you get this by dividing 33 by 35 and then multiplying by 100). Different schools have different scales for what constitutes an A or A-, but usually, anything above 90% or 93% is considered an A or A-.
For GPA, an A or A- typically equates to a 4.0 or 3.7 on a 4.0 scale respectively. Therefore, your percentage would most likely translate to somewhere near a 4.0 or a 3.7 GPA, based on the specific grading scale your school uses. It's important to note that this is an approximate calculation and may vary based on the individual grading policies at your school. Always check with your school or teacher to verify how they convert percentages to GPA.
Also, remember that an individual test score doesn't translate directly to your overall GPA, it would just be a fraction of your total grade for one class. GPA is a cumulative average of all your classes over a semester or academic year, and often several years of high school.
