Hey, I just got an 84 in my Chem class - kinda disappointed. Any idea what this equals on the standard 4.0 GPA scale? I'm assuming it’s a B, right?
Hey! Most schools generally consider a grade in the range of 80-89 to be a "B" and typically assign it a GPA value of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. And you nailed it—an 84 usually does fall into the B range.
Keep in mind each school has different conversion standards, so there may be some variations in how different schools convert percentage grades into a GPA. Some schools have a more granular scale with + and - (B+, B-, etc.), so it's a good idea to confirm with your school counselor or check your school's specific grading policy to get the most precise conversion. Regardless, you're definitely in the ballpark, and an 84 is a pretty solid grade, especially in a challenging subject like Chemistry. Keep it up!
