OK, this might be really basic, but what letter grade does a 90 typically represent? I'm trying to figure out my GPA and it's kind of confusing.
A percentage grade of 90 typically translates to an A- in the standard U.S. letter-grade system.
However, when converting your letter grades to a GPA on a 4.0 scale, the values might shift slightly. For instance, an A- usually equates to a 3.7 GPA. Here is a brief overview of how the conversion typically works:
- A (93-100%) = 4.0 GPA
- A- (90-92%) = 3.7 GPA
- B+ (87-89%) = 3.3 GPA
- B (83-86%) = 3.0 GPA
- B- (80-82%) = 2.7 GPA
Please bear in mind that the conversion can vary somewhat depending on the specific grading scales employed by your institution, so it would be a good idea to verify this with your guidance counselor or academic advisor at your school. They should be able to provide you with your school's specific grading scale.
Hopefully, this helps clarify how to calculate your GPA!
