Hey y'all, got a score of 60 out of 100 on a recent test. Anyone know what that translates to in terms of a letter grade? Not sure how the conversion works.
Hello! The grading scale may vary between different educational institutions. However, many schools in the United States use a common system where a numeric score between 60 to 69 translates into a 'D' letter grade.
Keep in mind that below 60 is typically considered failing (an 'F') in this system. It's always a good idea to double-check your school's specific grading policies, though, to be sure.
But don't get too discouraged! There are usually plenty of opportunities to pull your grade up over the course of the semester with other assignments and tests, especially if you meet with your teacher to discuss where you had trouble. Best of luck!
