Hi folks, I'm a little bit confused here, so I was wondering if any of you might be able to help me out. I just got an assignment back and the grade was a 6 out of 8. Can anyone shed some light on what this grade might be in terms of a percentage or a letter grade like A, B or C?
Hello there,
If your grade on the assignment was a 6 out of 8, this can be converted to a percentage by dividing 6 (your score) by 8 (total possible score) and then multiplying the result by 100. Using these steps, your percentage would be around 75%.
In terms of a letter grade, that percentage might vary depending on the grading scale used by your institution. However, in many American schools, a 75% is generally considered to fall in the "C" range. Do keep in mind that every institution might have slightly different grading scales, so you should check your specific school's policy to get the most accurate conversion.
Hopefully, this helps clear up your confusions. If you have any other questions about grading or anything else, feel free to ask!
