Hey everyone, I'm a bit confused about something. Would a '36 out of 50 grade' typically be considered as a good grade? What letter grade does this usually correspond to?
Hello! Typically, grades are calculated as a percentage of the total possible points. In your case, 36 out of 50 would equate to a 72% (36 divided by 50 and then multiplied by 100), which generally falls into the category of a C grade in the American grading system. However, different teachers, departments, and schools may have slightly differing standards for what constitutes each grade, so if you can, try to get specific grading guidelines from your class syllabus or direct from your teacher for the most accurate answer in your specific case.
