Hey, I just got a 79% on a test in my AP Physics class. Does anyone know what letter grade that usually converts to? I'm really hoping it's not as bad as I'm thinking it is...
Grading scales can vary somewhat by school or college, but typically, a 79% falls into the 'C+' range in most traditional grading schemes.
However, it's important to double check this with your specific school's grading scale, as some might consider it a 'C'. These scales can often be found in your course syllabus or school handbook. Also remember that one test does not define your overall grade, and you have opportunities to bring up your average through additional assignments, tests, and, in some cases, extra credit. Keep up the hard work and perseverance!
