Greetings! I have a question about grades and percentages. If I have a 90 out of 100 on an assignment, what's that percentage and how does it translate into a letter grade? I'm trying to figure out how my final grade might look. Thanks in advance!
Hi! When it comes to grading, a score of 90 out of 100 translates to 90%, since you earned 90 points out of the possible 100.
In terms of letter grades, this typically translates to an A- or sometimes an A, depending on your school's grading scale. However, this can vary from school to school, so it's essential to check your school's specific grading policy. Many schools use a 10-point grading scale, where 90-100% is an A, 80-89% is a B, and so forth.
In terms of how this might affect your final grade, you'd need to know the weight of this particular assignment in relation to all the other graded items in your class (tests, quizzes, other assignments, participation, etc.). For example, if this assignment is worth 20% of your total grade, then it's going to have a more significant impact on your final grade compared to if it's worth only 5%.
Keep doing your best and best of luck with your classes!
