Hi all, I'm a little bit flustered with my recent quiz score. I got a 6/8, but I'm not sure what that translates to in terms of A/B/C...etc grades. Can someone help me out?
Sure, I understand your concern. To convert your quiz score into a percentage, divide the points you earned (6) by the total points possible (8), then multiply by 100.
In your case, (6 ÷ 8) 100 equals 75%.
While there's some variation, the following grading scale is commonly used:
- A: 90-100%
- B: 80-89%
- C: 70-79%
- D: 60-69%
- F: Below 60%
So, your score of 75% would typically be considered a C on the standard American grading scale. However, grading scales may vary by institution, district, or country, so it's always a good idea to check the specific grading scheme in use at your school.
