Hello everyone! I'm slightly confused by my latest grade. I got an 11 out of 12, which I'm struggling to understand. What does this mean in terms of a letter grade? Would it vary from one school system to another?
It's understandable that converting numerical grades to letter grades can sometimes be confusing. In general, a grade of 11 out of 12 would convert to roughly a 91.67%, which generally aligns with an 'A-' on a standard grading scale where a 90-92% is an 'A-' and a 93-100% is an 'A'.
However, keep in mind that grading scales can indeed vary between educational institutions. Some schools use a straight scale (where anything above a 90 is an 'A'), while others utilize a plus/minus system, and others might vary in other ways. It's always a good idea to check with your specific teacher or institution to understand their grading system and any nuances they might have.
And remember, while it's certainly important to pay attention to your grades, it's also crucial to focus on understanding the material and learning from any mistakes you may have made on your assignments. After all, the goal of education is to learn and grow!
