Hey there, I've got a grade of 75 in one of my classes and I'm trying to understand how that translates into a standard letter grade. Different schools use different grading scales, right? So, can anyone help me understand what a 75 typically counts as on most scales?
In many high schools and colleges in the United States, a grade of 75 typically translates into a "C". This can be on a scale of A-F, where A is the highest and F is failing. However, you're right that scales can vary by school. Some schools may have a plus/minus system, so a 75 could potentially fall into a C+ or C- range depending on the exact scale.
While this is a standard guideline, grading policies can greatly differ from school to school, and even from teacher to teacher within the same school. Not every place uses the 90-100=A, 80-89=B, 70-79=C, 60-69=D, and below 60=F model.
You may want to check your school's grading policy or ask your teacher for a more specific conversion. They'll provide the most accurate information when it comes to grading scales at your specific institution.
