Friendly peeps, I need your help. I think I scored an 85 in a term, but I'm not sure what GPA that is. Can someone clarify? Thanks heaps.
Hello! GPA, or Grade Point Average, is conventionally calculated on a 4.0 scale in most U.S. schools. While systems might differ slightly from one institution to another, typically an 85% would translate to a GPA of around 3.0 which is considered a "B" average. It's always a good idea, however, to check with your school's specific grading scale to make sure. Keep up the good work!
