Help understanding my grades

Hi everyone! A little worried over here. I got an 87 on my recent project. I'm wondering how bad (or good) that is? Can you guys help me decipher this into a letter grade? Cheers!

Certainly, an 87 would generally be indicative of a B+ on a standard grading scale. However, the specifics would depend on your school or teachers' specific grading policy. In many cases, an 87 can be a desirable grade, indicative of solid understanding of the material. It shows that you are above average but there might be areas where you could still improve. Focus on understanding where your weak spots were – whether they were conceptual errors, incomplete work, or any other factors. Knowing these can help guide your study and improvement plan moving forward. Keep up the good work and strive for continuous improvement!
