How's it going, folks? I'm in my first year of college and I recently got a 75 on an assignment. In high school, that's a C but I've heard grading can be different in college. Can anyone clarify what a 75 grade typically means in college terms? Thanks in advance!
Hello!
A 75 typically equates to a C in most college grading systems, similar to high school. However, it's important to note that grading can somewhat vary depending on the institution or the specific professors' grading style.
One distinction to keep in mind is that university grading is often more nuanced, meaning there might be +/- attached to letter grades, variant GPA weights, and such. For instance, in a system where a C ranges from 70-79, a 75 might be a mid-range C. Again, this isn't a rule but an approximation as the grading standards can be unique to each institution.
Lastly, don't forget to reference your course syllabus or consult directly with your professor for the most accurate information. It should provide a clear breakdown of the grading scale used in your class.
Hope that answers your question!
